EOS Sells its First EOSINT P 800 High-Temperature Peek Processing System

By DE Editors

FKM, one of EOS' e-Manufacturing partners, is the first company to purchase an EOSINT P 800 high temperature machine built by EOS. FKM has now increased its machine park to a total of 14 laser-sintering systems for processing plastic, metal and sand. With this purchase, the rapid technology specialist obtains a machine that can process EOS' PEEK HP3 polymer.

"We were motivated to purchase another machine from EOS for a variety of reasons: In our opinion, laser-sintering is today one of the key technologies in the area of e-manufacturing,” says Jürgen Blöcher, managing director at FKM “It enables the manufacture of durable and close-to-production functional models. Buying an EOSINT P 800 was a logical step, because the machine complements our portfolio perfectly.

High-performance polymers have potential for many applications and industries. Because of its suitability for process temperatures of up to 385°C, the new EOSINT P 800 opens up this family of materials for laser sintering. By adapting the design of the EOSINT P730 by adding newly designed components, the machine is equipped to meet the demands of high-temperature processes.
