  • Large build volume: 450 x 450 x 400* mm for larger, more complex parts (*including build platform)
  • High productivity: Six (6) 400 W lasers provide 50% higher throughput and reduce part costs by 30%
  • Flexible processing: The EOS M4 ONYX FLX variant features four (4) 1kW beam-shaping lasers for enhanced speed and flexibility
  • Process stability: Homogeneous gas flow and active temperature control ensure cleaner builds and shorter cycles
  • Lower QA costs: Integrated error detection reduces quality assurance expenses by up to 50%
  • Sustainability: More than 90% powder material recovery, lowering raw material costs and waste, supporting Responsible Manufacturing®
  • Cleaner, safter operations: The RFS Pro filtration eliminates consumables and neutralizes hazardous condensate
  • Reliable uptime: Proven technology delivers up to 97% system availability (OEE) with full-service contracts
  • Improved quality: EOS Smart Fusion minimizes supports and enhances surface quality, reducing post-processing
  • Continuous production: Automated overnight starts and job changeovers in less than 30 minutes, via the Grenzebach Dual Setup Station – EOS Edition

Advanced software and processing intelligence: Featuring best-in-class software innovations for efficiency, transparency, and process stability:

  • EOS Build+ process innovations and Siemens control system unlock new productivity levels
  • Open platform communications and web APIs enable seamless integration with digital workflows, reducing order-to-print lead times by up to 30%
  • Early notification systems increase utilization by up to 30%
  • Digital fingerprinting with statistical control cuts QA and non-destructive inspection efforts by up to 50%
  • EOS Smart Fusion and Smart Fusion Replay minimize support and post-processing requirements, and beam-control capabilities double build speeds and expand geometric freedom

 

Integrated Peripherals & Partnerships – Supported by advanced peripherals and collaborative alliances, transforming it into a fully integrated metal AM production powerhouse:

 

“At EOS, we live by our longstanding commitment to efficiency, safety, and innovation. Those pillars along with AM manufacturing innovations from partners like Volkmann and Grenzebach, have culminated in our most productive metal AM system to date. Beyond the technical milestone of our RFS Pro, our customers will benefit from our deep collaborative relationships to successfully scale their AM production with confidence and consistency.”
Sebastian Becker, Head of Product Management Metal at EOS
