Leading powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printer providerEOS已宣布推出其新的端到端生产网络，以将寻求串行3D打印支持的公司与认证合作伙伴联系起来。
此举扩大了EOS现有的合同制造网络，以提供端到端的生产，并拥有斯堪的纳维亚银行最大的增材制造公司雷电竞充值原始揭幕是第一个获得网络的认证合同制造商。
“With more than 30 years of experience in offering comprehensive additive manufacturing solutions, EOS understands market requirements for AM series production,” said Markus Glasser, Senior Vice President EMEA at EOS.
“With this network we want to create added value for both parties involved – those offering manufacturing services and those in search for it.”
Over three decades of 3D printing
Since its founding in 1989 by Dr Hans Langer, EOS has built its reputation as a pioneer in the field of DMLS 3D printing and grown to become one of the largest additive manufacturing firms in the world.
多年来，该公司继续通过各种驱动3D印刷领域的创新研发伙伴关系and新合资子公司增加全球添加剂制造的采用。雷电竞充值今年，该公司达到了几个关键里程碑，例如delivery and installation of its 1,000th 3D printerin North America, and becoming the first alongside 3D printing service providerMaterialise到qualify flight-ready polymer partsforAirbus。
该公司还在驾驶3D打印教育，有expanded its Additive Minds Academy online training program在欧洲成功推出后，去年4月到达美国市场。EOS倡导的其他以教育为中心的举措包括student design challengesand合资伙伴关系为了提供有关添加剂制造设计（DFAM），部分筛选和选择以及拓扑优化等主题的技术知识，此外还启动了新的学生奖学金计划，雷电竞充值EOS肯定，向少数群体开放STEM教育机会。
The end-to-end production network
Introducing end-to-end production workflows is one2022 3D printing trendidentified by multiple industry leaders that will become increasingly vital for firms looking to scale up their 3D printing operations going forwards.
EOS’ new partner network aims to connect start-ups, mid-sized companies and OEMs with certified member manufacturers to deliver 3D printed parts to the market at speed and in high volumes. The network will seek to find the right production partner for these companies in order to bring their products to life at scale while removing hurdles such as finding the right manufacturing method and how to organize part production.
To achieve this, EOS has expanded its existing contract manufacturing network with an end-to-end production element providing services from part design and DfAM, to manufacturing, post-processing, quality assurance and assembly.
“This will take much of the complexity and risk out of choosing a manufacturing partner for serial production businesses, with the most innovative product designs,” said Glasser. “They will be able to bring products to market faster, using the latest state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, and draw on the vertical industry expertise and know-how within the network.”
通过合作伙伴网络，EOS能够确定适合企业需求的最佳应用程序和技术框架，并就内部和外部生产的利益和缺点进行咨询。如果第三方生产合作伙伴是最佳选择，那么EOS的端到端生产网络合作伙伴将能够帮助企业降低这些风险，并迅速发展到大规模的最终序列零件生产。
经过认证的网络合作伙伴将从一系列制造技术中带来他们的专业知识，以帮助这些业务不断提高生产，同时确保在制造过程的每个阶段，并提供质量标准并提供支持并提供支持。
根据EOS的说法，选择与其端到端生产网络成员合作的客户将是安全的，因为他们已经评估了所有合作伙伴，以验证其财务安全和能力，而且还具有领先的行业和应用程序专业知识，特别是在经过认证的行业，例如航空航天，汽车和医疗中。
Becoming a certified production partner
To become a partner in the network, firms must go through a certification process and demonstrate they have sufficient end-to-end production capabilities.
Firms wishing to join the network must also have a deep understanding of serial production requirements and have “proven excellence” in each production step. Essentially, network partners should enable firms in search of a production partner to realize serial 3D printing on an industrial scale, and across a wide range of industries.
第一个加入EOS端到端生产网络的认证合作伙伴是原始的，据报道是北欧最大的工业3D打印，真空铸造和注入成型的供应商。Prototal已成为EOS客户已有二十多年了，配备了50多个EOS聚合物系统，可为大规模连续生产提供端到端的3D打印功能。
“It is with great pride that we become the first member of the EOS End-to-End Production Network,” said Jan Löfving, CEO at Prototal. “At our various sites across Europe Prototal Industries for many years has built up the competence and the knowledge in how to additively manufacture larger series.”
生产合作伙伴网络最初将在EMEA地区建立，并将在未来几个月内进一步扩展。
“The future looks bright for the technology in terms of even further developments in automation and more sustainable production,” Löfving added. “3D printing really is a production method offering great benefits. And EOS is one of our most valuable partners.”
