Lifestyle Products-Use additive manufacturing to turn unimaginable shapes into realistic products
EOS Additive Manufacturing opens up a whole new imagination for designers and design engineers.
additive manufacturing is not limited by design, breaking the boundaries of traditional manufacturing methods. The latter is more suitable for mass production: design changes cannot be achieved in a short time, and personalized mass production requires huge investment. This puts pressure on companies in areas such as jewelry and watches, footwear and web applications: they need to face rising raw material prices, increasing demand for personalized products, and more flexible and decentralized mass production.
additive manufacturing offers new solutions to meet these challenges. It opens up a whole new way of thinking for designers and design engineers. Users can turn any desired shape into a real product-economically, flexibly, quickly and with less material. With additive manufacturing, products can be manufactured layer by layer with a single processing step. The applied material is selected according to the needs, so the manufactured product is both strong and light.
Additive manufacturing is based on a fully digital process, which ensures consistent high quality, optimal scalability and short lead times. Even the production of a single batch of products has a high economic efficiency. Some household goods companies have set up special departments where product designers can systematically explore the potential of this new technology. They produce furniture products such as lamps and chairs through additive manufacturing, as well as fashion products such as jewelry, handbags and glasses with unique shapes and structures. Given its advantages, EOS additive manufacturing will be on a level with traditional production technologies in the coming years. This will lead to entirely new applications: products such as footwear and watches will be configured online and then printed in stores.
