His PhD concentrated on laser technology and he has been one of the driving forces of German additive manufacturing. He was won a huge amount of awards in his homeland, including two \u2018Bavaria\u2019s Best 50\u2019 awards.<\/p>\n<p>Working with BMW his company made great strides in stereolithography and then laser sintering. The company discovered Direct Metal Laser Sintering, which has had a massive impact on 3D printing as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The German company is still a global superpower when it comes to DMLS and is homing in on full manufacturing capability.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jTjipJM8Bn0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" style=\"display:none\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now EOS has expanded aggressively in North America and has opened the iLab at its facility in Pflugerville, Texas. This will serve as a centre of technical excellence and also a joint venture to help drive startups forward with the power of 3D printing.<\/p>\n<p>EOS North America President Glynn Fletcher said: \u201cRAPID is the authoritative industrial 3D-manufacturing event of the year. This SME award is a reflection of both Hans Langer\u2019s innovative spirit and the growth and technological advancements his company has made over the past 27 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What next for EOS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are exciting times for the industry. We are heading towards the tipping point where 3D printing takes over from traditional manufacturing techniques and there is now little doubt we\u2019re heading for another industrial revolution.<\/p>\n<p>People like Dr Hans Langer have played an integral part in 3D printing\u2019s fast track to success.
