January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Cooksongold and EOS have partnered to produce the Precious M 080. The new AM system uses direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and gold alloys to produce jewelry and watches. EOS says it will be adding different material options for the system in the near future.
EOS and Cooksongold's collaboration resulted in the Precious M 080. Courtesy of EOS.“Utilizing the power of 3D CAD design, DMLS technology will challenge a designer’s imagination and enable the creation of jewellery and watch components that previously would have been impossible to successfully manufacture,” said David Fletcher, European product manager at Cooksongold. “DMLS will also enable the production of design driven pieces that are not limited by the restrictions of conventional production techniques such as lost wax casting, eliminating many process steps and costs that we normally encounter.”

The Precious M 080 is equipped with a 100-watt fiber laser and an 80mm (about 3.15 in.) diameter round build platform. Along with providing the Advanced Metal Powders to fuel the new system, Cooksongold will also provide customers with training options for both learning how to operate the Precious M 080 and how to design for DMLS.
“This Additive manufacturing process introduces an innovative and paradigm shifting technology to the luxury goods industry,” said Adrian Keppler, CMO at EOS. “With Cooksongold we found the perfect partner for the extension of our technology into this industry. Additive manufacturing paves the way for a completely new approach towards design and manufacturing, enabling the design-driven manufacturing the industry has long been searching for.”
