•„Instead of 2,5 jobs per week we‘re now able to build 4“ (P730)

•„The system is now really fast“ (P390)

•„The unification of exposure parameters helps a lot. Parameter pre-sets work perfectly as they should.“

•„Due to the finer layer the surface quality of P730 parts is better“

•„The system works stable and relyable“

Big tasks – How to let them become real?

Continous development is the key

— This vision can become real by powerfull database and software colaboration. The basis was set by PSW 3.3 and the Reporting Database

— Sufficient understanding of relations between a parameter change and the resulting effect. Continous fundamental research happens at EOS since the beginning of laser- sintering

— Findings trough fundamental research have to be followed by implementation and development of relevant sensors into the machine hardware

— Software development has to process the sensoric data and program countermeasures

— Tolerance bands have to be defined through extensive testing and verification

— Development has to be crosschecked with customer requirements when defining mile stones
