- Metalworking
EOS has launched the EOS M 290 additive manufacturing system for the creation of metal parts. It has a build volume of 250 by 250 by 325 mm.
This machine has monitoring functions both for the system itself and for the build process. Using the EOSTATE PowderBed, a camera built into the process chamber, users can monitor the powder bed, following powder deposition and exposure by means of still images. EOSTATE Base helps ensure the consistent monitoring of a range of parameters, including the position of the Z axis or scanner, laser power, air humidity, temperature, and pressure. EOSTATE LaserMonitoring measures the laser power throughout the entire build period.
The system is equipped with a 400- W laser, and it can be operated under an inert (nitrogen) atmosphere or under argon, which permits processing of numerous materials. These include light alloys, stainless and tool-grade steels, and superalloys.
As with the previous model, the company supplies customers with ParameterEditor to allow them to modify a range of exposure parameters themselves. The tool enables users to develop their own parameters for specific applications on the basis of the EOS parameter sets. These include laser power and exposure speed or strategy.
New EOSYSTEM machine software allows intuitive and task-oriented operation of the system via a GUI, which was developed especially for production environments. In addition, an operator assistant is included, which guides the user through the program.
EOSPRINT Desktop Software allows jobs to be prepared and computed directly at the workplace, separately from the build process. The job file then can be transferred through the network to the system, which then concentrates fully on building the part.
