EOS and Advanced Laser Materials Announce Strategic Partnership for Rapid Manufacturing Materials

By DE Editors

EOS, a manufacturer of laser-sintering systems, and Advanced Laser Materials, a developer and manufacturer of materials for rapid manufacturing processes, have announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, EOS will act as a majority shareholder obtaining 51 percent of the ALM shares.

ALM recently introduced the new fire-retardant polyamide, FR-106, an engineered material for use in the laser sintering process. FR-106 is a particularly applicable material for the aerospace industry, which EOS counts among its key target industries. ALM now has a partner in EOS that can open up new markets for it in Europe. ALM also benefits from the patent portfolio EOS offers. EOS, on the other hand, will secure and extend closer collaboration with its customers through this partnership, particularly in the US market.
