Additive Manufacturing Industry Milestone: EOS Installs its 5,000th Industrial 3D Printer

____ Krailling, Germany, JANUARY 15, 2025 

EOS, a supplier of additive manufacturing (AM) solutions for industrial 3D printing, today announced the installation of its 5,000th industrial 3D printer. An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of both polymer and metal powder bed 3D printing technologies, EOS has grown into the leading provider of AM machines, materials, training and services to manufacturers large and small across six continents.

“Our organization was a startup within a startup industry. There was no such thing as additive manufacturing when EOS was launched with a clear vision from my father. We can proudly call ourselves AM pioneers, but it is our continued innovation and unwavering desire to ensure our customers are successful that has allowed us to reach this milestone. While 5,000 machines are impressive, we have barely left the starting blocks. The possibilities are endless, and I'm both confident and excited about the greater milestones we'll undoubtedly achieve.”
Marie Langer, CEO of EOS

EOS 5,000^th machine installation – Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing

EOS’ first installation was Munich-based BMW – the STEREOS 400. The installation of machine 5,000 is located in Statesville, North Carolina, at longtime EOS customer Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM). Founded by race car driver and entrepreneur, Brad Keselowski, KAM added an EOS M 400-4  to its growing portfolio of metal AM systems, now totaling 18 EOS machines.

KAM, which recently became a part of the ADDMAN’s growing group of AM organizations, is a leader of metal industrial 3D printing and has quickly grown by applying creative technologies and innovative engineering solutions that shape the next industrial revolution. The addition of KAM to the ADDMAN group of companies brings ADDMAN’s mix of metal and polymer EOS machines to 36.

“AM is now integral to many industries – defense, space, energy, tooling and medical, to name but a few. We have long relied on EOS AM technology for producing many highly engineered and complex applications and are thrilled to be a part of the EOS story.”
Joe Calmese, CEO of ADDMAN

 

At its heart, AM is digital manufacturing – an idea which was certainly ‘avant-garde’ when EOS was founded in a small Bavarian town by Dr. Hans Langer. Dr. Langer’s vision was a confluence of data, analytics, machines and robotics transforming how applications are manufactured: more efficiently, sustainably, and in ways never before possible. AM helps realize all those possibilities and has led to new industries being born while allowing others to grow in ways not previously possible.

“To this day, we remain true to Hans’ original vision. This focus ensures we dedicate all our energy to building the best quality products and services for organizations like ADDMAN, rather than bowing to deceptive market dynamics and misguided competitive pressures. For us, this has resulted in consistent business growth, and I'm confident we'll reach 10,000 installations much faster than the first 100.”
Glynn Fletcher, president of EOS North America
