The world needs energy. And the demand for energy increases across numerous segments of the industry every day. At the same time, the requirements for performance, efficiency, and environmental compatibility of gas turbines and turbine components are constantly growing. With our partner Siemens Energy and their customer E.On, we have some of the best engineers in the world as our partners. By combining the engineering excellence on the customer side with the EOS know-how on the additive manufacturing side, we see demanding AM applications performing in serial production, now. Paving The AM Way to realize the vision of gas turbines operating fully flexible from 100% natural gas up to 100% hydrogen.

Strong Customer Innovations with 3D Printing
Siemens Energy
Siemens Energy is a global leader in energy technology and is determined to speed up the energy transition by decarbonizing through technology. At their production facilities in Finspång, Sweden and Worcester, UK Siemens Energy has one of the most advanced serial production sites with industrial 3D printers by EOS. The experts at Siemens Energy think beyond the limits of conventional production using the capability of Additive Manufacturing to make innovation possible. Rethinking existing processes and products to realize their target to replace coal-fired power plants and preparing gas-fired power plants for 100% hydrogen operation as soon as possible.
E.ON
E.ON is one of Europe's largest operators of energy networks, energy infrastructure and international energy solution provider for the industry sector. As such, E.ON is advancing the energy transition in Europe significantly and is committed to sustainability, climate protection, and the future of our planet. E.ON was amongst the first energy solution providers that pioneered together with Siemens Energy to install additively manufactured parts in their turbine at their energy plant in Hattorf. After two year's in operation, the results are more than stunning!
EOS
For more than 35 years EOS has been pioneering in additive manufacturing (AM) and acts as a global leader in the industrial 3D printing of metals and plastics, offering integrated production solutions for AM. Gas Turbines are real high-tech machines. Every part operates at its limits offering the perfect challenges to proof the capabilities of AM. Some turbine parts, like the advanced cooling vane, operate in gas streams close to their melting temperature or even above, only kept alive by active cooling. Here, our technology offers great potential, and proves that additively manufactured parts considerably outperform conventional parts, simply due to their advanced geometries. And the serial manufacturing on some 50 EOS machines at our customer site demonstrate the market proof of our technology.
