EOS has introduced the launch of its Digital Foam Architects community, designed to speed up the event and 3D printing of client, medical, and industrial merchandise that includes Digital Foam functions. Founding members embrace EOS, Arkema, Common Lattice and DyeMansion.
EOS says that Digital Foam breathes new life into mature merchandise, whereas additionally creating new product choices from athletic footwear, to orthotics, to protecting gear and medical merchandise. Producers can ‘dial-in’ the efficiency or options they should ship product differentiation in addition to present mass customised product choices.
In accordance with the corporate, Digital Foam functions usually have advanced necessities, requiring a number of disciplines to make sure success. The Digital Foam Architects community normalises a standing alliance of 3D printing consultants able to convey concepts to manufacturing says EOS.
“Digital Foam functions may be designed and produced with tailor-made options for efficiency, safety and lightweighting. However Digital Foam just isn’t a product, somewhat it’s an method to 3D printing foam-like merchandise. The Digital Foam Architects community is one other chapter within the maturation of this method by coalescing the required AM experience. We’re more than happy to announce our first commitments to this community of consultants,” mentioned Jon Walker, Digital Foam spokesperson for EOS.

Adrien Lapeyre, Director of Arkema’s 3D printing program added: “Arkema is dedicated to supporting new additive manufacturing utility growth by extra sustainable materials options. In collaboration with EOS, we proceed to push the boundaries on what is possible in 3D printing by combining robust enablers, resembling Digital Foam, and new supplies, resembling Pebax elastomers. We stay up for the expansion of Digital Foam and we’ll proceed to play an energetic position on this program.”
EOS says that underpinning Digital Foam is its patent regarding any generatively desiged 3D printed mission which has a versatile grid-like construction or matrix, composed of open cells which might be joined collectively in teams of differing traits.
The corporate says the community will broaden its companions as Digital Foam continues to be leveraged as an additively manufactured versatile lattice resolution.
