The brief

Analyst view
  • EOS is a pioneer in industrial 3D printing, with over 1,000 laser sintering systems installed globally.
  • In April 2026, EOS acquired Metalpine GmbH, an Austrian supplier of metal powders for additive manufacturing.
  • The M4 ONYX, launching in Q1 2026, achieves 50% higher throughput and 30% lower part costs than prior systems with six 400 W lasers.

Technical approach

As reported
DMLS Technology

Direct Metal Laser Sintering

EOS uses fiber lasers to fuse metal powder layer by layer, enabling production of parts with complex geometry that traditional machining cannot achieve.

Materials

Broad material library

Systems support light metals, stainless steels and super-alloys for aerospace, automotive and medical use.

Powder Recovery

Sustainable manufacturing

M4 ONYX achieves over 90% powder reuse, reducing waste and material costs for high-volume production.
