EOS, 3D-Micromac Establish 3D MicroPrint GmbH

http://www.eos.info
KRAILLING, Germany, Dec 22 - 3D-Micromac AG in Chemnitz, a leading provider of highly efficient laser micromachining systems, and EOS GmbH, a technology and market leader for design-driven, integrated e-Manufacturing solutions in additive manufacturing, are bringing their respective technological know-how in the area Micro Laser Sintering technology (MLS) into a new corporation. The goal of establishing 3D MicroPrint GmbH was to advance the development and commercialization of the new MLS technology, and to identify and establish more solutions in the field of micro technology.

3D-Micromac AG and EOS GmbH have been developing the Micro Laser Sintering technology together since 2006. The first system successfully began operation at a German research institute already in this year.

Dr. Hans J. Langer, founder and CEO of EOS GmbH remarks: "Demand for very small parts which are difficult to manufacture using conventional processes is rising tremendously. Micro Laser Sintering provides solutions for three major trends: individualisation, functional integration, and miniaturisation." Joachim Göbner, one of the business managers of 3D MicroPrint, adds: "Working with layer thicknesses of ≤ 5 µm, focus diameters of ≤ 30 µm and powder particle size of ≤ 5 µm, the MLS technology opens up new dimensions. With MLS it is even possible to produce moveable component assemblies."

Tino Petsch, CEO of 3D-Micromac AG continues: "Our timing is virtually perfect. The current 3D printing hype shows that our investment in the development of Micro Laser Sintering systems was exactly right. Together we now offer a trend-setting solution that opens up new approaches in product development and manufacturing for our customers."

Joachim Göbner, formerly project head MLS at EOS and head of the technical centre Chemnitz, and Tino Petsch, CEO of 3D-Micromac, were appointed as business managers of 3D MicroPrint. The company's headquarters is located in Chemnitz.

3D MicroPrint has already moved into new premises on the Chemnitz Smart Systems Campus. The new location brings a major expansion of production space. Development and service capacities are also being expanded.
