Maximum Flexibility and Design Freedom in the Production of Orthoses

When it comes to support orthoses, orthopaedic technicians are generally restricted to individual constructions, as forms, functions and material thicknesses must be configured to suit each individual patient‘s needs. When complex structures are required, traditional processes are often operating at their limits. Moreover, as orthoses are time-consuming to produce, they are not readily available. To address these issues, Ottobock employs industrial 3D printing. With the aid of production systems and consultancy services from EOS, the company produces custom-made orthoses.

If You Race, You Need to Stay Cool

Racers must keep a cool head - their cars should not overheat either. This applies equally to racing cars with combustion engines and electric motors. The difference: in fuel-fired racers the engine has to be tempered, in electric vehicles this must be considered in particular for the accumulator. The Formula Student team from Stuttgart has solved this task in the truest sense of the word with an additively manufactured oil cooling system and support from EOS.
