INTRO WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET INSPIRED HOW TO MAKE USE OF PRINTOPTICAL TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR PROJECT? Delft University of Technology students created concept cars for our transparent 3D printing service. As a bachelor project, students developed a prototype which can be the concept car for our unique technology. All the projects were contestants in the Luxexcel Innovative Application Student Award 2015 We would like to thank all the Delft University of Technology Industrial Design students for their participation. Best regards, The Luxexcel Team.

TRANSPARENT 3D PRINTING FOR THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY

WINNER selected by Luxexcel

3D PRINTED

APNEA BRACE Created by: K. Ouweltjes Industrial design student Delft University of Technology Apnea can be remedied with the 3D printed Apnea Brace. Over 500.000 people in the Netherlands have apnea which lead to breath falters and snoring during sleep. By making use of a 3D scan a dental model can be created which allows to create a custom 3D printing apnea brace can be created. Information about the patient can be collected by an integrated chip. This results in more comfort.

TRANSPARENT 3D PRINTING FOR THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY

VASU MALARIA TEST

3D PRINTED MICROFLUIDICS Created by: L.Huikeshoven Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology Vasu is a smartphone case meant for doctors in rural India, to diagnose malaria in the blood. The device combines a smartphone app with a case and can distinguish two types of material, namely Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum. This enables doctors to prescribe the proper amount of medication a patient needs. It works with a disposable chip, which guides the light from the flashlight through the chip and back to the camera. The smartphone app analyses the picture and informs the doctor with the right amount of medication the patient needs.

LIGHTFIELD CAMERA MODULE Created by: N. Bijman Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology The Lightfield Camera Module is a camera module for your smartphone. It consists of a 4 x 4 lens array and works exactly the way an eye of a bug does. This microlens array creates an effect which allows the full picture to be in focus. It can be placed in front of the camera flashlight and can be enhanced by making use of the Google modular phone (project Ara). Luxexcel printed the lens array for this project.

3D PRINTED

VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET Created by: D. van den Oord Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology Virtual reality headsets are a rapid growing market. These VR headsets are able to put users into a virtual world and give them the feeling that they are actually there. The 3D effect is created by sending each eye an image of a vritueal environment seen from a slightly different perspective, this will trick your brain. 3D printed lenses are used in the design. After analysing the users eyes a customised optical design can be generated. By using a fresnel lens on the eyes-side of the headset, a very flat lens design can be created. The virtual reality headset needs a smartphone to get a 3D experience. Depending on the smartphone used the lenses can even be further customized.

NEW TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

CHECK MATE 3D PRINTED GAME OF CHESS Created by: N. Hermes Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology CheckMate is an (electronic) interactive game of chess. It makes use of LED lights and light guides, to add an educational function to the game. Advanced features belong also to the possibilities. All functions can be accessed and controlled by an app. By making use of 3D printed light guides, users can be educated and learn more about chess. It combines the best of the physical and digital world In a game of chess.

3D PRINTED SHOES WITH TRANSPARENT PARTS

Luxexcel Innovative Application

AWARD WINNER

Created by: F. Metin Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology The Acryx shoe is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first fully 3D printed shoe with 3D printed transparent parts. It combines NinjaFlex material and Printoptical Technology by Luxexcel. It serves as inspiration for the fashion and 3D printing industry. It resulted in a flexible shoe with transparent parts that not needed any post-processing.

PORTHOS 3D PRINTED EARPHONES Created by: R.Bakker Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology Porthos earphones are unique and build around four key elements. It has built in functions like noise cancelling, directed noise, a sensitive trackpad and a Bluetooth 4.1 connection. The transparent parts in the earphone are 3D printed by Luxexcel. Directed noise is a special feature it allows the earphone to decide what the user want to hear and what not trough the microphones. This technique only works due to the thin layer which is printed by Luxexcel.

3D PRINTED WATCH

LUMINOS Created by: A. Brus Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology

The Luminos is a watch which has a unique feature. In the middle of the watch the time can be indicated with making use of LED lights. It makes the watch glow and indicate the time. The light can be seen if it encounters a wall or edge in the material, it creates lighting patterns. Due to 3D printed optics these lighting patterns can be customized.

3D PRINTED LIGHTING APPLICATIONS

STUTTGART

INNOVATIVE 3D PRINTED LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT

Created by: M. Grossl Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology STUTTGART offers architects and interior designers an innovative lighting arrangement to make unused spaces useful again. It consist of connected elements to create a lighting network on ceilings. These elements form a honeycomb structure and is ideal to enlighten dark places with daylight by making use of fibre optics. With customized 3D printed optics, the light can be directed in the wanted direction. This allows for customization of your lighting arrangement.

DAYLIGHT IN THE UNDERGROUND 3D PRINTED DAYLIGHT SYSTEM

Created by: M. Kooper Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology Daylight in the underground consists of a flat solar collector to concentrate solar power. It can also be applied in daylight systems. The collector works by the waveguide principle. The light is coupled into a transparent slab by making use of hundreds of tiny lenses. Each module requires an individually customized set of lenses to deal with different solar incidences. With this system daylight can be transported in the underground.

VEIL

WINNER selected by Luxexcel

INTERACTIVE EXPOSITION OF ART Created by: L. Kok Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology VEIL creates an opportunity to customize interactive expositions of art. All art pieces are unique and by making use of a 3D scanner, a custom transparent cover can be 3D printed. By printing customized optics specific objects can be illuminated. This enhances the quality of the exposition, by making use of a tactile sensor, visitors can enlighten a specific part of the art object. Information about the highlighted part of the art object is immediately transferred to a smart device via a Bluetooth connection.

APPLICATIONS OF PRINTOPTICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR ART OBJECTS

RAYBENDER

3D PRINTED OPTICS FOR ILLUMINATION OF ART OBJECTS Created by: R.Baldewsing Industrial Design student Delft University of Technology Art-pieces are often illuminate by spotlights. These spotlights create an egg-shaped light pattern on the art object and it surroundings. It results in a lack of uniformity in light intensity and that the art piece is illuminated suboptimal. To solve this problem, the Raybender lighting system was designed. It makes use of a customized optic to control the light. The lighting system has a modular design and replacing a part is quite easy. By scanning the art object calculations can be made to tailor the shape of the light. The whole lighting system is designed to easily replace old spotlights.
