en.Wedoany.com Reported - German Grenzebach Group has announced that it has secured a major contract from industrial additive manufacturing system provider EOS, comprising 155 dual-station workstations. Last autumn, before and during the Formnext 2025 exhibition in Frankfurt, EOS had already ordered 40 of these units; following the launch of the new metal 3D printing system EOS M4 Onyx, an additional 115 units were ordered. Both parties also see potential for further demand within the current year.

This signing is also significant for the newly established Grenzebach Additive Solutions GmbH. According to the plan, starting January 1, 2026, the additive manufacturing business will operate as an independent company within the Grenzebach Group system. The automation and scaling of industrial additive manufacturing processes are playing an increasingly important role.

Automation is key to moving towards series production. Grenzebach explains that the M4 Onyx presented by EOS in Frankfurt is a next-generation system for the industrial additive manufacturing of metal components, featuring high productivity, a novel approach to waste handling, and expanded automation capabilities. The dual-station workstation customized by the Group for EOS forms the core element of the entire solution: it allows parallel preparation of subsequent jobs during printing and enables rapid changing of the build cylinder, reducing the changeover time between two jobs to under 30 minutes, thereby significantly minimizing idle periods. This feature is an essential prerequisite for the economically viable 24/7 operation of additive manufacturing. The dual-station workstation has been deeply adapted specifically for the M4 Onyx, covering the build cylinder structure, operating methods, ergonomics, and automation logic, with the exterior also unified to match the dark design language of the EOS printer.
