EOS
EOS GmbH (Electro Optical Systems) is a German company founded in 1989 by Dr Hans J. Langer and Dr Hans Steinbichler in Krailling, Germany. It is a global leader in the field of additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing.
A pioneer in laser sintering technology for polymers and metals, EOS supplies advanced production systems to key sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical and consumer goods.
With an active global presence in more than 40 countries and a workforce of over 1,400 employees, EOS now serves the 3D printing market with a product portfolio that boasts hundreds of active patents.


Shaping the future, layer by layer
Turning the impossible into reality
The true strength of EOS lies in its ability to redefine the boundaries of industrial production through additive manufacturing. The promise is not simply to 3D print, but to unlock the potential of human design: to offer absolute geometric freedom, reduce waste and turn every complex idea into a tangible and sustainable reality. EOS is shaping the future of engineering, where matter meets pure innovation.


Features and benefits
- Use of proprietary DMLS and SLS technologies in laser powder bed sintering processes for metals and polymers.
- An integrated ‘Single Source’ ecosystem that provides not just the machine, but a comprehensive package combining industrial printers, certified materials, management software and advanced consultancy with the services offered by Additive Minds
- A wide range of advanced materials for metal powders (titanium, aluminium, nickel alloys, steels) and polymers (PA12, PA11, TPU), engineered with specific properties such as biocompatibility, mechanical strength or flexibility
- Smart technologies and ‘support-free’ printing, using proprietary architectures such as Smart Fusion, analyse and optimise heat management during the printing process in EOS systems, drastically reducing (by up to 80 per cent) the use of support structures, thereby cutting production times and costs per part
- Focus on industrial mass production through product design aimed at ensuring high repeatability, operational continuity, integration with factory information systems (CAD/CAM/MES) and quality traceability through ISO certification.
