At the Hanover Fair (April 25-29 2016), EOS, a leader in additive manufacturing (AM) systems, will be part of a collaborative* exhibit on lightweight design. The demand for lightweight design with all its advantages is occupying many industries, addressing concerns of using ever-scarcer and more-expensive commodities sparingly while also meeting industry-specific sustainability goals.

The vendors in this exhibit will cover all facets of lightweight design, from brainstorming through to additively manufactured components and corresponding material tests.

EOS will showcase its FORMIGA P 110 system at the booth. The compact plastic AM system enables a reasonably priced and efficient introduction to the world of additive manufacturing. EOS will also display examples of various lightweight designs.

Exhibitors on the shared stand include:

—-BUSSE Design+Engineering GmbH (Industrial design)

—-csi entwicklungstechnik GmbH (Design thinking/design engineering)

—-hme Ulm GmbH (Simulation-supported product development)

—-Institut für Technik und Design GmbH (Scientific lightweight design consulting)

—-Trinckle 3D GmbH (Product individualisation, semi-automated design and software for 3D printing)
