EL SEGUNDO, CA, Sep 10, 2021 – Morf3D, Inc., a subsidiary of Nikon Corp., a trusted leader in metal additive manufacturing (AM) specializing in AM optimization and engineering for the aerospace, defense, and space industries, announced that EOS has committed to a technology development partnership in its new Applied Digital Manufacturing Center (ADMC) in Long Beach, CA.
Morf3D’s ADMC is a 90,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility harnessing applied research,
advanced engineering and application development, serial production and, most significantly,
new industry partnerships with global leaders to drive the industrialization of digital manufacturing in high-growth markets.
Morf3D’s technology investments in EOS’ Direct Metal Laser Solidification (DMLS) metal AM
platforms will include the biggest installation of EOS M 400 series systems under one roof,
automated shared modules, material management systems, and EOS’ AMCM line of
specialized large format metal industrial 3D printers – all working in concert to accelerate the
progress toward the industrialization of AM. When complete, the ADMC will provide full-scale
production enablement capabilities within the world’s first industrial ecosystem for the
advancement of AM. For their part, EOS will deploy the most advanced, automated AM
technology, together with the engineering resources necessary to help ensure the full
optimization for customer programs.
“The AM industry is developing fast and Morf3D’s ADMC is a next-level development toward
scaling production,” said Glynn Fletcher, president of EOS North America. “Morf3D has evolved
spectacularly, and we are very proud to have been a part of their vision from the very beginning. EOS has never wavered from our commitment to serial AM production and the ADMC is another giant step on our industry’s march toward the digitization of manufacturing.”
“As we seek to re-invent the future of manufacturing, our industry partnerships within the ADMC will bring forth exciting capabilities and new innovations for the industry. Our aim is not to simply add more capacity or capability but rather solve the complex issues that are central to
industrializing Additive Manufacturing. EOS and AMCM are poised to help lead the charge
toward productionizing AM at scale,” shared Ivan Madera, Morf3D CEO.
The Applied Digital Manufacturing Center will create an integrated digital manufacturing process across the value chain and a system of work that enables organizations to create complete, repeatable production lines globally. All ADMC partners are looking to capitalize on their strengths to elevate additive manufacturing at scale. ADMC research and development partners will work in co-operative teams to help educate, drive new innovations, and deploy novel methods of engineering to increase productivity and automation. Additionally, all partners will have access to collective training, meeting, and gathering spaces for customer events and business development efforts.
The Applied Digital Manufacturing Center is located at 3550 Carson Street, Long Beach,
California. The space will house Morf3D’s business operations and is designed with a vision
toward innovation and growth for the AM industry.
