With the introduction of a brand-new EOS 290 additive manufacturing 3D metal printing machine . The EOS 290 now allows Agemaspark to create a variety of new parts and products ideal for injection mould tool inserts , functional engineering prototypes and low volume part manufacture . This new machine complements their existing downstream capabilities to create and supply complete tools . The possibilities and scope for 3D printing are limitless and the installation of this machine opens up countless opportunities for Agemaspark to support businesses across a variety of industries , from aerospace to pharmaceuticals and all aspects of plastic injection mould tooling , by providing cost-effective , accurately manufactured solutions .
This new EOS 290 machine gives Agemaspark the ability to manufacture parts up to 250 x 250 x 290mm in size in Maraging ( MS1 ) steel , and with the in-house heat treatment inserts can be hardened to 54Hrc . within 12 hours of being sintered .
Examples of the possibilities for conformal cooling are shown above , this is a core 6.5 mm X 22mm x 90mm high with a conformal cooling channel giving an even cooling area in place of conventional drilled hole , pictures left show a full stack with cooling channels .
