ITAR-registered contract manufacturer Evology Manufacturing has purchased an EOS M 400-4 metal additive manufacturing system.
The machine is yet to be installed but will take Evology's fleet of EOS additive manufacturing machines to ten (eight metal and two polymer). In line with this latest investment, the company has also joined EOS' Production Partner Network.
Based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Evology specialises in industrial additive manufacturing, precision machining, tooling, and production services. By combining metal and polymer 3D printing technologies with traditional manufacturing methods, Evology Manufacturing produces complex parts, functional prototypes, tooling, and low-volume production components across industries such as aerospace, automotive, defence, and industrial manufacturing.
The EOS M 400-4 is equipped with four 400-watt lasers and a 400 x 400 x 400mm build volume. Evology expects to utilise the machine for larger metal parts.
“Our space customers are driving a backlog on our existing fleet of M 290s,” said Chris Keidl, Vice President of Operations at Evology Manufacturing. “To live our vision of becoming the most trusted, capable, and agile contract manufacturer, we strive to start building the same day an order is placed. When lead times consistently stretch beyond two to three weeks, we add capacity. The EOS M 400-4 takes us beyond our M 290 platform with a larger build envelope, four lasers, and automated manufacturing. It strengthens our ability to run bigger, more complex metal jobs and reflects our commitment to investing in the technologies that help our customers succeed.”
“As more manufacturers turn to additive technologies for production, companies like Evology are helping lead that transition,” added Andrew Snow, Senior Vice President at EOS. “Its investment in the EOS M 400-4 demonstrates the value of scalable metal additive manufacturing. We are also pleased to welcome Evology to the EOS Production Partner Network, a trusted group of manufacturers providing high-quality 3D printing services across a wide range of industries.”
