Dr. Hans J. Langer
Dr. Langer is a physicist, entrepreneur, and one of the architects of the additive manufacturing industry. As founder of EOS, he helped transform additive manufacturing from a promising technology into an industrial reality.
Guided by customer challenges, he has spent more than four decades building technologies, companies, partnerships, and intellectual property that address critical gaps across the manufacturing value chain. As Founder of SCANLAB, founder of AM Ventures, and through numerous entrepreneurial initiatives, he has consistently connected innovation with industrial demand and helped create the additive manufacturing ecosystem as we know it today.
For Dr. Langer, building an ecosystem is a creative act. He views the additive manufacturing ecosystem much like a work of art - shaped by vision, collaboration, and the ability to connect diverse elements into a meaningful whole. This philosophy is also reflected in EOS Kunst.Raum, which explores the connections between art, technology, and society and was established together with his wife, Hella Langer.
