SUSTAINABILITY
“ EOS is committed to helping our customers tackle environmental and climate challenges , as highlighted by our responsible manufacturing corporate initiative ”

“ Great question ! Initiatives to be more sustainable can certainly be difficult to catalyse and knowing where to start can be overwhelming ,” says Krzeminski . “ I think an organisation must be fully committed to going green and endure any ups and downs to get across the finish line . Getting an easy win is a big first step , compared to tackling the hardest challenge first . I also think policies and customer demand will drive green initiatives for organisations , and being proactive will be beneficial .”
Over the next 12 months , EOS will continue to evaluate its internal processes to identify opportunities for more sustainable practices .
EOS has recently launched the Can I 3D Print This online analysis tool . Designed for both metal and polymer 3D printing , it offers users the freedom and independent inquiry to investigate the viability of Laser Powder Bed Fusion ( LPBF ) industrial 3D printing for production .
“ We are collecting more data around our material and machine manufacturing which will feed into and bolster our Carbon Calculator ,” he explains . “ Equally , many exciting applications are being launched by our customers that demonstrate sustainable solutions , and EOS is working to help promote these to help spread the word to as many eyes and ears as possible .”
