Key Products
Dual Setup Station (EOS Edition); Automated exchange solutions for polymer 3D printing; Depowdering solutions
Technological Advantage
Proprietary automation hardware (Dual Setup Station) designed for seamless integration with flagship LPBF systems like the EOS M4 ONYX, protected by engineering know-how and long-term partnership agreements dating to 2016 (NextGenAM project). The technology advantage is operational—enabling parallel job prep and cylinder changes—which is critical for production economics but replicable by well-funded competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces job-change downtime from hours to under 30 minutes, increasing machine utilization and enabling true 24/7 production for qualified series manufacturing, directly improving the ROI of high-productivity LPBF systems.
How They Differentiate
Focuses specifically on automation for metal LPBF series production (vs. broader post-processing). The Dual Setup Station offers 3x faster job-change times than manual processes and is co-branded/integrated with EOS's flagship M4 ONYX system, unlike generalist post-processing equipment.
