Smart Fusion intuitively detects potential build problems, auto-adjusts the laser power, and eliminates wasted time and resources typically associated with “trial and error” additive manufacturing. The technology eliminates the need for most support structures, minimizes material use, reduces post- processing requirements, and lowers the cost-per-part (CPP) for metal AM applications. Krailling, Germany, Ap– Committed to the advancement and adoption of metal additive manufacturing (AM), EOS has launched its Smart Fusion software technology for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printing that automatically adjusts laser power in real-time.
