BLUEPRINT

In the second part of Episode 12, the conversation shifts from strategy to solutions. Host Björn is joined by Vanessa Seidenschwarz, Sophia Heyl, Sybille Fischer, and Likhith Saliseema to explore how EOS turns its sustainability commitments into tangible value for customers. This episode dives into EOS’s Responsible Products portfolio—spanning polymer and metal materials with reduced or neutral carbon footprints—and explains how Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) form the scientific backbone of these solutions. The discussion also highlights how verified data feeds into tools like the EOS Carbon Calculator, helping customers better understand and reduce the carbon footprint of their 3D-printed parts.

In this milestone episode, we turn the spotlight inward to explore how EOS is translating its purpose of Responsible Manufacturing into a clear and measurable climate strategy. Joined by Marie Langer, CEO and shareholder of the EOS Group, and Florian Mes, CFO of EOS, this episode unpacks the thinking behind EOS’s long-term climate ambitions—and the concrete steps behind them. Marie shares why EOS chose to frame its vision around responsibility, not just sustainability, and how purpose guides decision-making across the company. Florian then takes listeners into the numbers, explaining EOS’s science-based targets, carbon accounting approach, and the practical pathways to reduce emissions across scopes 1, 2, and 3.

In this thought-provoking episode, host Björn sits down with Tibo Uyttersprot, Head of Sustainability, who offers a compelling deep dive into how Materialise is turning bold climate commitments into tangible progress. From personalized medical implants and lightweight aerospace parts to zero-waste eyewear and beyond, discover how Materialise is pioneering responsible manufacturing across sectors. Learn how science-based targets are shaping the company’s roadmap, why supplier engagement is essential for reducing scope 3 emissions, and how collaborations—like the one with EOS—are driving sustainable material innovation. Whether you're an AM veteran or new to sustainable tech, this episode is packed with insights on scaling innovation without compromising our planet.

Tune in as host Björn chats with plastic materials expert Sophie Mulsant-Kern from Arkema about the important world of circular economy. In this episode, they'll break down the procedure and benefits of a global take-back program for used 3D printing polymer powder and parts. The positive environmental impact of this initiative is backed by a professional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) which she'll also share. Manufacturers, listen up — you'll learn how easy it is to join the movement and make a difference! Whether you're a sustainability enthusiast or a curious listener, this episode promises to be both informative and inspiring. Tune in and be part of the reutilization revolution!

In this episode, Björn interviews Brian Neff, CEO at Sintavia, about the transformative impact of 3D printing on the aerospace industry, focusing on sustainability. Brian discusses how Sintavia’s commitment to eco-friendly practices has become a key business driver. They explore real-world examples of reduced waste and energy consumption, insights from Life Cycle Assessments, and who benefits from these advancements. Brian also shares his vision for the future of sustainable aerospace manufacturing.

In the current landscape, it can be challenging to determine if a company's environmental efforts are authentic or merely a form of greenwashing. On the latest episode of the BLUEPRINT Vlog, Bjorn Hannappel sits down with Sherri Monroe, the head of the Additive Manufacturing Green Trade Organization (AMGTA), who works with numerous companies dedicated to sustainability. They discuss the necessary requirements for classifying #3Dprinting as a sustainable technology.

Groundbreaking applications are no longer confined to mere time and cost savings. The recently developed topology-optimized gripper designed to move battery cells shows that a carbon footprint reduction of more than 90% is now a reality. In this episode, Jens Hübner, Additive Manufacturing Expert at Siemens, explains how performance, productivity, and sustainability go hand in hand. 

Have you ever wondered how much greenhouse gas your 3D printing production emits? Host of BLUEPRINT Björn Hannappel sat down with Sustainability Manager Lea Stegemann and Consultant Nameer Syed who developed a carbon calculator, that calculates the cost and CO2e emissions of additively manufactured components. Besides bare numbers, the tool indicates the decisive emission contributors and allows users to improve their applications through what-if simulations. In addition, our experts explain why it is essential for manufacturers to have a price tag on emissions caused. Watch the 6th episode and gain transparency into your 3D printed application carbon footprint! 

In this 5th episode, Björn explores the most secret department in his company - the R&D area. He learns from his colleague Marco what role innovations play in ending the climate crisis. System Engineer Markus explains how customers can increase the productivity of their DMLS 3D printers up to 60% thanks to the innovative beam shaping feature. Additive Manufacturing Consultant Davy works with customers to develop applications that require significantly fewer support structures during production, which not only saves material but also energy and inert gas.
