FAPS wins OE-A Competition with additivly manufactured Light Bulb
The FAPS chair of ESI member Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Franke has won the “Best Freestyle Demonstrator” award at the OE-A Competition. The award was presented for a fully additively manufactured light bulb developed at FAPS. The demonstrator shows the combination of additive manufacturing with printed electronics and illustrates how customizable lighting products can be created using modern manufacturing processes. As the electronics are applied directly to 3D-printed structures, no conventional circuit board is required. This simplifies assembly and enables more compact products. Material is also used more efficiently, enabling more sustainable production.
