3 EOS Technical Services Our success is based on 3 strengths: Excellent Field Service Engineers Our employees have gone through a thorough and company-specific training program. We continuously keep their theoretical and practical knowhow up to date. In addition to their first language they can also communicate in English. Powerful Support Organization Customer enquiries are handled by telephone or via our helpdesk. By remote service, we can troubleshoot immediately eliminating on-site visits. Our second-level support specialists take care of specific challenges. For very complex issues, our R&D engineers are available as third level support. Reliable Processes and Quality Standards Our methodology for preventive and corrective action results from over 20 years of market experience. Support and escalation processes are designed for efficient problem solving. In regular reviews with customers, we collect feedback and implement measures for improvement. We offer on-demand services as well as customer service agreements. With our modular and scalable portfolio, we can provide solutions to individual needs, from a remote service package to a comprehensive service agreement. The key elements of our service agreements are: Maintenance We offer maintenance agreements of varying scope, up to a comprehensive maintenance program including all preventive measures relating to EOS systems. Customers with their own qualified service personnel can take ownership of regular maintenance activities. In this case, we provide training and support packages and ensure the expert component for highly specialised and safetyrelated work. Repair Our repair options vary in terms of the kind of labour and parts included as well as response times. In this way, we address different customer need profiles. Remote support A lot of incidents do not require the presence of a field service engineer at the customer location but can be solved by telephone support or remote access. Our contract customers benefit in a number of ways Higher system availability due to regular servicing including preventative maintenance service Protection of customer investment due to competent maintenance Increased quality of the manufactured products Reduced response times Direct, competent telephone support and remote support Price reductions with regard to hourly rates and spare parts as well as training and application services 3

4 EOS Training Services Additive Manufacturing is an innovative technology and requires a high level of expertise. With our training program we support our customers in making optimum use of our solutions. Our diversified training portfolio addresses a variety of user types such as system operators, data processing specialists and service technicians. Moreover, we differentiate between levels of experience by providing the appropriate content. Our methodology is based on a combination of theoretical and practical elements. In addition we provide web-based training modules and self-learning material to deepen or refresh your know - ledge and skills. All our trainers have several years of experience with EOS solutions and are familiar with typical customer challenges. Our training programs encompass the entire chain of activities related to our solutions. Basic design rules, data preparation, system operation, regular system care, safety rules and material handling are key elements of our portfolio. The training components are closely linked to Technical Services, Application Services and Quality Management Services. In this way we ensure that all customer needs are met on a continuous and holistic basis. EOS customers can choose their training location: we offer services at the customer location or at our training facilities in our Technical Centers. 4

5 EOS Application and R&D Services More knowledge creates added value. Our application engineers help increase your own expertise and exploit all opportunities offered by EOS solutions. From the idea to the finished part, our Application Services typically address four stages of Additive Manufacturing: PART DESIGN DATA PREPARATION BUILD PROCESS POST PROCESSING In co-operation with our customer, we identify which of the above stages can be optimised to achieve customer-specific goals. Our Application Services can take various forms: Feasibility studies We examine how your specifically planned applications can be implemented using our technology. Development services In specific cases, we develop solutions based on your requirements, e.g. build process parameter sets tailored to your application. Consulting services We analyse your challenge and actively transfer our know-how to enable you to make optimum use of our technology. Our application engineers have a sound technical background and several years of practical experience with our solutions. They focus on special industries or types of application challenges and provide customers with valuable know-how. 5
