Key Learnings
Additive manufacturing: From jewellery to gas turbines
Additive manufacturing offers a wide range of applications that go far beyond the image of the ‘topic of the future’. Tina Schlingmann explains that EOS not only produces highly complex industrial parts, but also consumer goods such as jewellery, glasses and shoe soles. The key lies in the versatility of the technology.
Focus on sustainability and efficiency
EOS is committed to responsible manufacturing and is continuously developing materials and processes that reduce its carbon footprint. For example, EOS has developed a climate-neutral polymer based on castor oil and a carbon-reduced polyamide material.
The railway as a practical example: digital spare parts warehouse
Deutsche Bahn has set itself the goal of producing up to 10 per cent of its spare parts using 3D printing in the future. A digital spare parts warehouse enables the railway to produce parts only when they are needed instead of holding large stocks. The flexibility of 3D printing also makes it possible to produce rare or unavailable spare parts at short notice.
Design Perspectives Podcast
How can we use design as a lever for transformation and economic success? We talk about this with personalities from the fields of design, brand management and architecture. They give us insights into how transformation, sustainability and economic success can go hand in hand in a company. Interesting, informative, inspiring.
