Marshall,
EOS has sold around 30 EOSINT M systems in 10 countries, all of which
are exclusively used for direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). The
primary application is direct rapid tooling for injection moulding.
A typical service bureau currently uses about 30 kg of metal powder per
month, although this is less than the maximum throughput of the machine.
As unsintered powder is 100% recycled, this also corresponds to the
useful output of the machine.
Will you be publishing the results of this research?
Best Regards,
Mike
