EOSINT M 270 builds metal parts using Direct Metal Laser-Sintering (DMLS). The technology fuses metal powder into a solid part by melting it locally using a focussed laser beam. The parts are built up additively layer by layer. Even highly complex geometries are created directly from 3D CAD data, fully automatically, in just a few hours and without any tooling. It is a net-shape process, producing parts with high accuracy and detail resolution, good surface quality and excellent mechanical properties.

 A wide variety of materials can be processed by the EOSINT M 270, ranging from light alloys via steels to super-alloys and composites. EOS has developed novel alloys especially for the DMLS process, and has also optimized and qualified standard industrial materials such as stainless steels for this machine. Further materials are continually being developed and qualified.
