here is the story:
Unlike most company founders, not only does Langer not initially have a finished product, he doesn't even have a prototype. But what he does have is the burning conviction that his idea will be the solution to the challenges faced by key players in the manufacturing industry.
So BMW is the perfect first EOS customer. The Bavarian car manufacturer is desperately looking for a stereolithography machine (a type of resin-based 3D printer) that meets its specifications having failed to find what it needs on the American market. Wolfgang Reitzle, former development manager at BMW, has the foresight to believe in Langer's vision and provides the venture capital for the construction of a laser stereolithography machine designed exclusively to meet BMW's requirements – a machine that currently only exists on paper.
Once commissioned, it is soon evident that the Gräfelfing premises are far too small for the task in hand, so in the same year, the company relocates to nearby Planegg, to the premises of Langer's former employer General Scanning. In order to create more space for his development and systems, Langer also rents a garage.

Based on this philosophy, EOS establishes a cooperation with the machine manufacturer Trumpf GmbH & Co. KG, complete with patent cross-license – this enables Trumpf to distribute its own system for laser metal fusion.
