A system of intelligent lighting thanks to the sintered Eos laser
Technology manufacturing by adding layers using a machine from Eos GmbH, has helped the famous designer, Assa Ashuach, to manufacture furniture of interior that could not get any other way. It has achieved thanks to Laser sintered powder of plastic in successive horizontal layers, directly from a model of 3D CAD, a technique usually used for the rapid production of prototypes and products.

A good example of what is technical can provide is the AI lamp Ashuach. Equipped with artificial intelligence, the lamp incorporates five digital sensors that allows you to move and change its structure in response to changes in the space that illuminates. The owner is able to interact with it, using the movement, sound and other lights. Over time, develop new models of behavior and a unique character. Turns into something so familiar with your environment that behaves unpredictably if moved to another location.
"The manufacture of the layers through the 3D software allows me to create designs of impossible appearances", he said Ashuach. "I use the process for sintered EOS laser because it provides a versatile, natural appearance and qualities of production as the polyamide". "It allows the production of parts that are aesthetically impeccable and sufficiently resistant to functionally be used in applications for which it has been conceived".
The hobby of Ashuach, for the manufacture of objects comes from his childhood, in a 'kibbutz' in Israel where already surprised his friends with their creations. After studying industrial design at the Center Betzalel Academy in Jerusalem, studied at the Royal College of Art in London where he experimented with digital modeling and rapid prototyping, before becoming a designer.
EOS strengthens its position in the dental market
EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems, Bego Medical GmbH and Bego Bremer Goldschlägerei Wilh. Herbst GmbH & Co. KG have signed an agreement for a patent license. Under the agreement, Eos is an international license for all patents of Bego businesses which are relevant to the sintered laser on dental prosthesis and production accessories dental using sintered laser.
The patent license includes among other EP 1021997 and US 7,084,370. Both sides have agreed not to make public the financial terms of the agreement. According to Johannn Oberhoferstrasse, COO of Eos: "the agreement provides legal security to our customers." It also allows us to be a strong partner for technical progress and for the development of the market for dental applications. BEGO has recognized the potential of the sintered laser for the manufacture of dental products. "The company has developed the application and has also secured the most relevant rights of the patent."
The sintered laser produces dental bridges and crowns by layers directly from a CAD data. It is in metallic materials in powder. In the dental industry primarily alloys of cobalto-cromo. A laser system produces up to 500 dental units a day. Automated production eliminates some laborious and expensive process for the dental laboratory, such as the casting. Technology, also improves the effectiveness of the dental industry and productivity of dental laboratories.
