The New Metal Standard: EOS Launches New Metal AM System

EOS (Novi, MI), the leading supplier of responsible manufacturing solutions, proudly announced its newest member of the EOS M 290 family, the EOS M 290-2, expanding the M 290 family of metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems to three, and setting a new productivity and quality standard for metal serial production. EOS will be in Booth W-432302.

Based on the time-tested EOS M 290 and developed through EOS’ AMCM group, the EOS M 290-2 system boasts two 400-watt lasers with full-field overlap and is compatible with the existing EOS M 290 process parameter sets: same focus and beam quality. The dual head EOS M 290-2 laser setup features:

• Optimized laminar gas flow ensuring the comparability of material properties.
• The familiar 250-x-250-x-325 mm (9.85”-x-9.85”-x-12.8”) build volume.
• A digital scanner with active cooling, up to 7.0 m/s (23 ft./s).
• Process quality and material library comparable to EOS M 290 single field.

With varying market demands, the EOS M 290-2 will be offered alongside the EOS M 290, as well as the recently introduced EOS M 290 1kW — developed for organizations that typically leverage copper and copper alloys for applications like heat exchangers and inductors.

An early adopter of the EOS M 290-2, Nordic-based AMEXCI piloted the new system and through the increased productivity of dual lasers attained a 76% reduction in cost-per-part for the tested application against the original EOS M 290 build.
