[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyun] Doosan Enerbility announced on the 26th that it has signed a business agreement with German EOS, the world's No. 1 metal 3D printer company, for technology development and marketing cooperation.

According to Doosan Enerbility, the signing ceremony held at EOS headquarters in Munich, Germany, was attended by Doosan Enerbility Vice President Song Yongjin, EOS CEO Marie Langer, and other officials from both companies.

Under this agreement, EOS will provide new technologies related to 3D printer software, materials, and processes, while Doosan Enerbility plans to share user feedback and technical needs.

Doosan Enerbility will also participate in beta testing of EOS's new products. Additionally, both companies will collaborate in marketing areas such as discovering potential customers and sharing success stories.

Song Yongjin, Head of Strategy and Innovation at Doosan Enerbility, said, "Through this cooperation with EOS, we have established a foundation to apply world-class 3D printing equipment and technology more quickly," adding, "We will continue to introduce more competitive products to the market and establish ourselves as Korea's leading 3D printing company."

Since introducing 3D printing technology in 2014, Doosan Enerbility has supplied parts made with 3D printing technology for large gas turbines for power generation and domestically produced prototype fighter jets. In June, it completed the development of Korea's first cobalt alloy 3D printing process jointly with EOS. This technology will be used for repairing aging gas turbines and other applications.

Doosan Enerbility completed the largest 3D printing fab (manufacturing plant) in Korea at its headquarters in Changwon last year. Currently, it operates eight metal 3D printers, including the world's largest PBF (Powder Bed Fusion) type metal 3D printer capable of producing parts sized 800 x 400 x 500 mm, and plans to continue expanding its business.

The PBF method is one of the metal 3D printing technologies, which involves spreading metal powder or other materials thinly and evenly in horizontal layers, then melting the material with a high-power industrial laser or electron beam to build up layers.
