Headmade Materials GmbH, headquartered in Würzburg, Germany, and EOS GmbH, based in Krailling, Germany, have reported that they are working together to further qualify EOS polymer Additive Manufacturing machines for the sinter-based Cold Metal Fusion (CMF) process.

The aim is to improve accessibility for industrial users, particularly for scalable production in metal Additive Manufacturing. The companies state that the integration of proven EOS technology as part of the CMF process chain is believed to be one further and important step in building an open CMF ecosystem.

CMF is an innovative technology developed by Headmade Materials. It uses laser-based low-temperature AM machines to construct a green part, followed by debinding, sintering and any required post processing to produce cost-efficient series production of complex metal components.
