The fact that EOS has opted for our Magics e-RP Suite illustrates that it is the perfect solution for companies focusing on e-Manufacturing, as well as for the commercial service bureaus that tend to focus more on Rapid Prototyping and make up a significant proportion of our Magics e-RP Suite customer portfolio.'

Mr. Klink agrees with Mr. Michiels, remarking that ‘Our partnership with Materialise has facilitated the harmonious integration of EOS systems and the Magics e-RP Suite. This partnership has produced a proven streamlined solution that can be customized and adopted by EOS users to boost the efficiency of their complete operations'.
