Two experts of metal solutions, GKN Powder Metallurgy and EOS aim to make effective enterprises with their collaboration.
One of the leading segments of additive manufacturing, metal printing continues to carry out exciting manufacturings. Becoming the common interest of many chemical and material manufacturers, metal 3D technolony is foreseen to gain power with GKN Powder Metallurgy and EOS’s partnership.
Including some metal powder developer in its organization like Hoeganaes, GKN Sinter Metals; GKN Powder Metallurgy will combine its metallurgy expert with 3D technologies. By GKN and EOS combining their know-how and experience and thanks to the global footprint of both partners, companies can fully exploit the revolutionary possibilities and potential offered by Metal AM. This is fully embedded in GKN’s digital factory approach and the next big step towards the future of series Metal AM production for automotive applications.

Dr. Hans J. Langer, founder and CEO of EOS, states: “The collaboration between GKN and EOS is another important step towards integrating industrial 3D printing into existing and future production lines and to leverage the benefits of AM technology for series production. With GKN we have the right partner who offers a high degree of experience with its global presence and its high-performance production for the automotive industry.”
Experience 3D Printing on Additive Manufacturing Experience Days
End of 2016 GKN Powder Metallurgy and EOS held a first joint ‘AM Experience Day’ in GKN’s Innovation Centre in Radevormwald, Germany. Based on the huge interest the partners now are planning for 2017 to run eight additional “AM Experience Days” in Europe and North America for innovative thinkers and decision-makers in the automotive and industrial industry. The goal is to show potential customers the new and nearly limitless possibilities in Metal Additive Manufacturing created by extensive geometrical freedom combined with considerable cost advantages already for small batch sizes.
