3D production tailors headset to your ear
Julie Ring-Hansen Holt is on Saturday 23rd January wrote an article about such how DaVinci development, using Rapid Prototyping technology, produces personalized communications for Danish INVISIO Headsets. The product is used by both hunter soldiers, FBI agents and U.S. Firemen mm.
INVISIO have with DaVinci had produced a headset which also serves as part shield, right now they are about to be patented. The headset stand out from the ordinary headsets by having 2 lyddæmpningsringe that makes all the difference.
Technical Director at INVISIO, Jan Larsen, explains how the shift from a former supplier of traditional technology and the DaVinci development of Rapid Prototyping technology that gives them greater flexibility and significantly nicer and more specific topics. He also says that the new technology is more expensive to produce items which they have hitherto done, and that it is also easy to expand with the new technology. Larsen also says that those with Rapid Prototyping technology has been able to develop new functionalities.
DaVinci and INVISIO has over the last year preparing the production of headsets and in that time DaVinci gone from providing design and 3D printing, to also account for the modeling of images, 3D printing, assembly of electronics, sanding, painting, testing and packaging .
Ole Lykke Jensen talks about the challenges that have been with DaVinci, for example. the electronics, where the to be soldered 15 wires on a circuit board is not major than 8 x 6 mm and without that some of the wires must place of clamping.
Ole Lykke Jensen also says that DaVinci's EDEN 260 printer has been modified to run only the biocompatible material such as headsets are printed in.
