We measure our products in our own testing facilities. Most of our platforms work on controlled reflector/ CoB platforms, however in the case of bespoke projects we verify our light effect both in the lab and in the real world.
We learn that our best informed clients often prefer to experience a product alongside a goniometric diagram! Yet another benefit of that speedy throughput time.
Thanks for a great question! Yes we want to be able to rework recycled plastics more than any other! Currently we have a few suppliers that means we can print from old CD disks and we are hard at work to try and print some plastics from our oceans! These developments are challenging but we are morally driven to achieve here!
Old luminaires can be recycled too!
We don’t not have patent for FDM. This tech was patented by Stratasys and upon expiry many companies including Signify jumped on the opportunities.
We file many patents regard the specifics of our process and what we learn in perfecting this, so I would speak of an intellectual ‘head-start’ but we definitely are not the only players!
