The German manufacturer, EOS, producer of systems for the additive manufacturing of components in metal and polymers has announced the acquisition of Vulcan Labs. Vulcan Labs spun out of Stratasys last year. The spin-off from Stratasys specialises in powder bed fusion additive manufacturing and was aimed at overcoming challenges in productivity, quality and certification in end-use applications. This acquisition should further expand EOS’ expertise and reach.
Vulcan Labs experts should push development and commercialisation of Integra P400
In December 2018, EOS launched its Integra P400 machine. It developed the technology to meet the demand for plastic additive manufacturing. The machine offers unprecedented productivity, software controls, material compatibility and simple serviceability. It was launched in North America exclusively. In fact, the deal with Vulcan Labs should help develop and commercialise the printer to make it more widely available.
The machine has already been ordered by around a dozen organisations. Furthermore, it addresses high-quality, mid-temperature applications and boasts a 420 x 420 x 500 mm build area with a single laser. It can process materials such as high-performance TPU, TPE, and a newly developed HT-23 material.
