EOS Tooling Video english – EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems

The design of special tools and components in all industrial sectors is often one of the most sophisticated factors in the production process. In this area especially it is necessary to be able to build customized parts quickly and flexibly. Conventional processes for producing these types of parts are, however, often costly, time consuming and technically highly complex. During the laser-sintering process, integrated cooling and tempering channels can be built into the tool. This construction advantage leads to an improvement in the productivity of the tools and also in the quality of the injection-moulded parts. That in turn leads to a reduction in unit costs. Cooling time can account for up to 70 percent of injection moulding cycle times. Traditional methods of creating heating/cooling channels in moulds involve straight-line drilling, which is limited in its ability to develop channels that reach critical hot spots. DMLS enables built-in, conformal cooling channels that can be optimized to draw off heat more rapidly and more evenly, dramatically reducing cycle time and increasing part quality by eliminating warpage and other defects. EOS was founded in 1989 and is today the world leading manufacturer of laser-sintering systems. Laser-sintering is the key technology for e-Manufacturing, the fast, flexible and cost-effective production of products, patterns and tools. The technology manufactures parts for every phase of the product life cycle, directly from electronic …
