EOS GmbH, Germany, and Plasmo Industrietechnik, Austria, announce that they are collaborating to develop a high-performance online monitoring solution for additive manufacturing by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). This represents decisive added value in terms of risk management and cost reduction. Modular online process monitoring extends quality assurance and ensures greater transparency during the complex building process.
“We have been working successfully with Plasmo for some time now,” says Dr. Tobias Abeln, Technical Director (CTO) at EOS. “With its know-how, it is accompanying us as an expert partner in the field of manufacturing and process monitoring on our road towards additive series manufacturing. The key to successful process monitoring is the intelligence of the system. Many are able to record data. Understanding the data correctly and evaluating it appropriately brings the decisive added value. Our goal is to set new benchmarks in this field and we are very pleased to have found the optimum partner for this in Plasmo.”
“We already offer comprehensive quality assurance processes for our systems upstream and downstream of the manufacturing process, ” adds Dr. Adrian Keppler, Sales and Marketing Director (CMO) at EOS. “At the same time we are making a tool available to our customers which they can use to build up their own quality assurance concept.”
