Every FilamentFeed story on EOS — news, reviews, and analysis, newest first.
BlueSky Polymers, Insight Polymers and EOS subsidiary ALM say their reactive xPEI flows easily during printing and is then thermally cured to raise its glass transition, which could finally make polyetherimide work in laser sintering. Pilot customers are being sought now.
Read the story →In-situ monitoring is the early-warning system for metal AM; post-process inspection is what formally certifies the part. Here is what each method catches, where each falls short, and what a retrofit monitoring kit looks like.
VoxelMatters reports Beamit's Fornovo plant installed the first EOS M4 ONYX in EMEA and renewed NADCAP, months after a Parma court opened liquidation and Rainshow Industries bought the aerospace unit.
AMCM has folded PanOptimization's PanX thermomechanical simulation engine into EOSPRINT itself, letting the software rewrite dwell times, geometry and laser power before a large metal build ever starts.
Norwegian defense group KONGSBERG is adding an AMCM M 4K and an AMCM M 290-2 1kW multi-laser metal printer to print demonstrator hardware and flyaway parts, with EOS's Additive Minds unit handling the integration.
Isar Aerospace's Spectrum rocket reached orbit on September 5, 2026, powered by Aquila engines whose thrust chambers are additively manufactured on a custom AMCM M 450 / EOS M 290 metal-printing setup.
Australian firm Additive Assurance has signed NTT Data XAM Technologies, Japan's first EOS distributor since 1993, to bring real-time AMiRIS quality monitoring to the country's installed base of metal laser powder bed fusion machines.
Ursa Major is going public at a $2.3B valuation on the strength of a rocket engine that's roughly 80% 3D printed by mass — a rare case of metal LPBF hardware carrying a company straight to Nasdaq.
NW Rapid Manufacturing, an Oregon spinoff of drone-engine maker Northwest UAV, has quietly used three industrial EOS SLS systems to print end-use UAV parts now credited with over 800,000 flight hours for customers like Matternet and AeroVironment.
NUWC Division Keyport is now the first Navy Warfare Center with NAVSEA qualification for metal powder bed fusion, clearing an EOS M290 to print 17-4PH stainless steel tactical and shipboard parts after a seven-year effort.
EOS is ending new sales of its FORMIGA SLS platform after nearly two decades, pushing toward larger automated systems like the P3 NEXT — while refurbisher Inframotion 3D moves to keep the cheaper machine alive.
EOS brings its six-laser M4 Onyx to North America at IMTS 2026 in September, but the real story is the M4 Onyx FLX due Q3 2026 — four kilowatt-class beam-shaping lasers betting that a smarter, bigger spot beats adding more spots. Plus a live spec discrepancy between EOS and the trade press.
