Processing Polymers at Operating Temperatures of up to 300°C
Thanks to clever hardware interfaces and accessories, the uptime of the EOS P500 increases by up to 75% compared to predecessor systems and competition models.
Cost-effective manufacturing
- The innovative recoater, which applies and densifies material with a speed of up to 0.6m/sec, as well as two powerful 70 watt lasers reduce cost-per-part by more than 30%.
The new 3-stage filter unit
- The new 3-stage filter unit and an intelligent thermo- and protective gas management ensure optimum process conditions.
High productivity
- The system processes polymer materials at operating temperatures of up to 300°C enabeling maximum material flexibility. Open software interfaces and user-friendly tools support application and material development.
Innovative software
- SmartScaling compensates shrinkage behaviour contributing to perfect dimensional accuracy.
- With EOSYSTEM the machine is operated intuitively. EOSPRINT 2 enables software integration in CAD systems, e. g. NX™ from Siemens and via EOSCONNECT the connection to ERP systems. Thus the EOS P500 supports a digital control of production.
User-friendly
- Extensive sensor technology plus optical and thermal monitoring enable excellent process monitoring to meet the requirements of the aerospace and automotive industries.
Automated interfaces
- Automated interfaces and optimized accessories reduce the cycle time drastically and ensure building process of several days duration.
