Quality Assurance

Manufacturers in markets with binding quality standards, particular in serial production, are reliant on trustworthy quality control and quality assurance systems.
EOS offers its customers a comprehensive range of products for monitoring and recording system status, laser output, and material coating and exposure in the build space. Customers benefit from early error detection and reduced risks and costs in the production process.EOS is constantly striving to improve its quality assurance processes as it consistently pursues its innovation policy. For example, the recently developed EOSTATE PowderBed augments the existing system-monitoring unit and the respective documentation modules with an innovative image-monitoring system.
