EOS' software solutions support companies across all process steps in additive manufacturing – from an efficient preparation of the AM build job with EOSPRINT to quality control as part of the EOSTATE monitoring suite. And with EOSCONNECT, all the machine and production data collected can be made usable on a live basis." Abeln continues: “To enable this, EOS offers an open interface capable of providing integration either into intelligent EOS applications providing productivity increase or to be used by third party applications. This way we lay the foundation for companies to truly integrate additive manufacturing in industrial production environments."
