The Artistry Behind the North American 1,000th Machine Installation

As a Metals Application Engineer, taking applications that have been designed the same way for decades and breaking the traditional mold is not unusual. Thinking outside design legacy is a job requirement in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry, and allows me to continually push the boundaries of my engineering knowledge and experience.  

The celebration of EOS North America’s 1,000^th machine installation was an opportunity to bring creativity to a traditionally results-based craft, and I was free to base the award design on artistry.

Reinventing the eyewear industry

The consumer space is hyper-competitive, with manufacturers continuously searching for differentiation and unique reasons for customers to choose their brand. The ability to tailor products to the individual is a massive selling feature and that ability is possible with 3D printing. Traditionally, production of eyewear required dies and molds and may have been limited in choice to “small, medium, or large” and offered in a few colors. Now, with scanning software and using common hardware, entire batches of eyewear can be produced with each pair unique to each person, and requiring no molds, and produced on-demand.

Put a Bird On It - Why Isn’t it Easier to Launch a Product with an Innovative Lattice Design?

In my role with Additive Minds, I consult early-stage organizations from introduction into production.  While many industries are diving into additive manufacturing (AM) successfully and launching products, some just dip a toe in and then push pause.  So why are some companies struggling to get deeper into AM? What challenges should they anticipate?

How to implement Additive Manufacturing successfully

Implementing additive manufacturing can be a long and difficult process for many organizations, but if they prepare correctly, they can be set up for success early on.  "Leaders have to push the limits and help their team to move faster out of its comfort zone, so they can create ideas with a radical innovation approach and then focus on the implementation." Güngör Kara, Chief Digital Officer, Ottobock
