EOSPRINT Software Releases

For more information on the new features please check the respective release below. For the Release Notes with many more details please visit myEOS.

EOSPRINT allows you to assign and optimize process parameters for industrial 3D printing on EOS systems. It calculates the exact path of the laser in the production process to optimize build speed and part quality.

Software Edition 11.2022

EOSPRINT 2.13

More reliable powder dosing through improved algorithm and new parameterization --> less powder shortage --> less full overflow bin

Upwards compatibility of EOSPRINT with machine software - Significantly reduce re-qualification & verification efforts

Material Set Configurator - Work safely with 3rd party metal materials (for health & safety reasons, this tool must remain locked until users have completed a corresponding training)

Laser Center Optimized Vector Scanning (LCDS) - new groundbreaking scanning strategy that enables higher build rates as well as homogeneity – new parameter settings
Animated help to demonstrate exposure order settings
Lock Exposure Sets independently
Upon loading, EOSPRINT now automatically determines if a part is a solid or a support
More flexibility in adjusting fine tuning values as self service

Software Edition 05.2022

EOSPRINT 2.12

Laser Center Optimized Vector Scanning (LCDS) - new groundbreaking scanning strategy that enables higher build rates as well as homogeneity
