GF Machining Solutions Enters 3D Printing Market Via Strategic 

Agreement with EOS 

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., July 13, 2015 – GF Machining 

Solutions, a division of GF, and EOS have entered 

into a strategic cooperation agreement to offer 

customers innovative solutions combining both 

companies’ technologies. 

The two companies have agreed to focus on the 

mold and die sector. They will develop exclusive 

solutions for moldmakers, a market in which 

GF Machining Solutions holds a leading position 

thanks to its EDM, high speed milling and automation 

technologies. 

Additive manufacturing technology offers moldmakers 

the possibility to generate metal inserts 

featuring cooling close to the surface, thus allowing 

for a shorter mold cooling sequence and therefore 

a much faster plastic injection cycle time. 

GF Machining Solutions and EOS will undertake 

the integration of the additive manufacturing machines 

into the production process of mold inserts, 

including the necessary software and automation 

link with downstream machine tools and measuring 

devices. 

About GF Machining Solutions 

GF Machining Solutions is the world’s leading 

provider of machines, automation solutions and 

services to the tool and mold making industry 

and to manufacturers of precision components. 

The products range from electric discharge machines, 

high-speed and high-performance milling 

machines, including clamping and palletization 

systems, and 3D laser surface texturing machines, 

to services, spare parts and expendable 

parts, consumables and automation solutions. GF 

Machining Solutions is a globally acting division of 

the Georg Fischer Group (Switzerland) and maintains 

a presence on 50 sites worldwide within its 

own organization. Its 3,008 employees generated 

sales of CHF 905 million in 2014. More information 

can be found at www.gfms.com/us. 

About EOS 

Founded in 1989, EOS is the global technology 

and quality leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing 

(AM) solutions. EOS is the partner of choice 

for industrial 3D printing processes offering 

modular solutions including systems, software, 

materials, technical and consulting services. 

“We welcome very much this strategic partnership,” 

GF CEO Yves Serra. “GF and EOS complement 

each other very well to offer the large customer 

base of GF Machining Solutions a unique set 

of technologies.” 

“The cooperation allows us to increase the value 

for customers within the mold and die sector, by 

integrating conventional and additive technologies. 

This is a large step towards seamless production 

and we join forces with a strong and experienced 

partner,” says EOS founder and CEO, Dr. Hans J. 

Langer. 

The first solutions will be shown at the EMO 2015 

to take place early October in Milan (Italy).
