Four more EOS metal AM machines expand Incodema3D’s fleet to twenty-eight
April 15, 2024
Incodema3D, based in Freeville, NY, USA, has acquired four additional EOS M 300-4 Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing machines. The investment brings the number of EOS metal Additive Manufacturing machines at Incodema3D to twenty-eight, with more acquisitions anticipated before the end of 2024.
“It can take years for some AM projects to gestate — it is not easy and requires a lot of legwork. Now we are seeing the fruit of these efforts with multiple programs scaling at one time – from aerospace to energy and a variety of other sectors with highly engineered applications where AM brings the highest value,” stated Sean Whittaker, founder and CEO of Incodema3D.
Incodema3D has grown steadily since its first EOS machine purchase in 2012 and has consolidated its business exclusively around EOS metal AM technology. Incodema3D has also made considerable investments in all the ancillary equipment necessary for pre-and post-production.
“Uptime, ease of use, and the ability to scale production. We chose the EOS M 300-4 because our current fleet of EOS printers are operating near 90% production utilisation, so we need the fastest systems on the market to enable the growing production needs of our customers. The EOS M 300-4 is a production workhorse, and our technicians rave about how user-friendly and reliable of a system it is,” Whittaker added. “For twelve years, EOS has been instrumental in our success, from the day-to-day support of our fleet to the continuous product advancements in speed and performance of its printer platforms. Our relationship with EOS is one of the key pillars of our business.”
The EOS M 300-4 features four 400 W precision fibre lasers, and full field overlap with a focus diameter of approximately 100 µm. It offers a build area of 300 x 300 x 400 mm and a scan speed of up to 7.0 m/s and dual material recoaters that reduce the time between laser exposure.
“The Incodema3D team is a great example of what can be achieved when extraordinarily talented people work together towards an aspirational goal. We continue to be blown away by what Incodema3D is accomplishing with EOS systems. They are a wonderful example of AM success, and we are grateful to be a part of their success story and look forward to helping them write their next chapter,” shared Glynn Fletcher, president of EOS North America.
