SYSTEM Numerous quality-assurance measures ensure the plant’s reliable compliance with production standards. The acceptance procedure performed with the EOS machine includes the production of defined reference objects, which are subsequently subjected to testing on the basis of all decisive criteria (e.g. mechanical properties, porosity, surface finish); comprehensive testing of all system components is also performed.

MATERIAL Multidimensional quality management ensures the uniform composition of all material batches. The quality assurance of all powder batches begins with the delivery of the raw powder material (with a check of chemical characteristics and grain size distribution) and ends with an analysis of manufactured density cubes and tensile bars. All testing and processing steps performed on metal powders are conducted in class 9 cleanrooms.

PROCESS Tested and secured processes ensure consistent production quality. All parameters (e.g. laser power or layer thickness) that are required for attaining certain chemical or component characteristics are based on more than 25 years of experience at EOS, coupled with a comprehensive series of tests during product development.
