• To provide an adequate infrastructure for carrying out training, research and experimentation activities concerning additive technologies
• To offer a place for to the development of training courses and industrial research

Why the choice of EOS as a partner?

EOS is not just one of the leading companies in 3D printing technologies in the world, but represents a real ecosystem able to support the ADDITIVE FVG project in all its forms, not only through the supply of the M290 industrial printer.

Regarding the training offer, EOS operates through Additive Minds, a specialized department that deals with consulting and training of companies that use the machines developed by EOS. Additive Minds is able to provide a complete package of services to accompany the entire life cycle of the customer: from the fundamentals of additive manufacturing and the choice of the correct component or application, to the engineering process and to the development of the application, until planning of industrial production, qualification and validation.

With regard to investments and new business ideas, EOS operates through AM Ventures Holding GmbH, a venture capital company specializing in startups, whose purpose is to accelerate the adoption of additive technologies by providing cutting-edge technologies and financing dedicated to startups or mature companies that want to invest in additive technologies.

The service provided by EOS therefore goes beyond the simple supply of the M290 industrial printer and must be considered in its entirety: a service structured on technical, educational and financial characteristics.
