3D Printing Company Profile: EOS

摘要

With global headquarters in Krailling, Germany, EOS (Electro Optical Systems) was founded by Dr. Hans Langer in 1989. Langer was originally contracted by BMW to develop stereolithography (SLA) for industrial use. When his research into SLA was finished, he wasn't satisfied by the limitations of the process for use in manufacturing. With the idea of what would eventually come to be called additive manufacturing (AM) in mind, Langer began work on a different process that could produce more durable parts and prototypes. The result of his work was laser sintering.
