Additive manufacturing is well established in the medical market through applications including implants, surgical tools and dental. Many early adopters have already insourced the necessary technology to gain a competitive edge. The market is now heading into a second phase, according to Davy Orye, head of additive minds at EOS, and companies that sat out at first are now trying to catch up.
That’s where EOS’ recent agreement with contract manufacturer Tecomet comes into play. Since EOS doesn’t want to create its own service provider network and compete with its customers, it’s relying on manufacturing partners to help create an option for companies who want to buy 3D-printed parts instead of building the technology base needed to make their own.
For Tecomet, the deal provides access to EOS’ latest technology and the knowledge of the Additive Minds team. For EOS, it’s a chance to connect with Tecomet’s sales and implementation expertise.
