EOS, a leading supplier for responsible manufacturing solutions via industrial 3D printing technology, has today launched its new Contract Manufacturing Network. The network connects end customers with established AM production partners, so they can create high quality parts in a fast and reliable way. Initially the network will be set up in EMEA with seven partners, including Materialise and Oerlikon, which count orthopedic device companies among their customers. It will be expanded globally, with more partners joining over the coming months.
Orthopedic device companies that are interested in engaging with the network may either contact EOS directly and get a referral to partners that work within the orthopedic industry or use MakerVerse as fulfillment partner.
The new Contract Manufacturing Network builds on EOS’ offerings in its existing partner networks. Customers searching for a trusted additive manufacturing partner to produce their parts, rather than manufacturing in-house, can approach the network for support – from rapid prototyping up to small series volumes of 1,000 parts.
Companies that want to become a partner must fulfill certain criteria, such as needing to serve customers across EMEA. Experienced partners must have a minimum of five EOS systems installed from the latest generation of machines, which are regularly maintained and inspected.
EOS Contract Manufacturing Network partners will be included to the MakerVerse partner hub, an EOS-branded platform on MakerVerse. With this, the network partners will have the opportunity to expand their reach to potential end-customers while making the ordering process easy. The collaboration of the EOS Contract Manufacturing Network with MakerVerse as its fulfillment partner allows customers to access all the production capacities of the EOS Contract Manufacturing Network, while questions, payment, purchase orders and invoicing are all being taken care of.
