We participated in the development, prototyping, and subsequent production of 500 pieces of LED lighting and electronics housings, in cooperation with the local company LEDeco solution, s.r.o.
The parts are part of the construction of a cycling bridge "🚴" on Zvolenská cesta in Banská Bystrica and serve as the internal segment for mounting the housings, fitting the PCB, and aligning the LED light.
Due to specific design requirements and assembly elements, it was necessary to adapt the design of this part to existing components.
The result was a design optimized for additive manufacturing, specifically using Binder Jetting technology with 316L stainless steel, taking into account the required quantity, delivery time, and—most importantly—cost.
During the prototyping phase, we fine-tuned the design and tolerances together to ensure full functionality within two iterations. To meet a critical tolerance of 0.1 mm in the slot feature, we proposed a press calibration process.
Once we received the go-ahead, we produced the full batch within two weeks. The Binder Jetting process included the production of so-called "green parts" (brittle parts where the metal particles are not yet fully bonded and still contain a mixture of metal powder and binder), followed by debinding (removal of the binder), and final sintering in a furnace.
This collaboration stands out as a great example of combining modern technologies with an innovative approach to solving engineering challenges.
We’re grateful to have been part of a lasting project—one that even our children will be able to use in the future.
