John Manley, Machine Tool Systems.
John Manley, the owner of Machine Tool Systems, is now the Canadian representative for EOS, a German company that specializes in additive manufacturing.
EOS focuses on rapid prototyping of both plastics and metals.
Although 3D printing is a trendy topic at the moment, Manley was quick to point out that the company deals with more refined work.
“They’re very different – 3D printing is when you buy the little inkjets… and you dro bits of plastic in it, it’s inaccurate.
“This is highly accurate, net shapes, turbine components like for the aircraft industry, automotive – and these are functional parts, they’re not just prototypes,“ Manley continues.
“Knee replacements, hip replacements – they’re doing anything orthopaedic.
“These are parts you can actually deliver to a customer afterwards.”
Founded in 1989, the company now has 25 offices worldwide, and a North American office in Novi, Michigan.
Currently, Manley is representing the company in ontario and Quebec. He is based in Toronto, Ontario.
