Together with Heimerle + Meule at VICENZAORO T.Gold will be Cooksongold E-Manufacturing, a division of Cooksongold and part of the Heimerle + Meule Group. The company will be presenting one of the main points of its recent production: DMLS technology for precious metals. In fact, Cooksongold has a special partnership with EOS printing experts to supply an end-to-end e-manufacturing solution, the only one on the market at the moment, able to provide everything from software to machines and powders.

With the PRECIOUS M 080 machine, high quality metallic parts can be produced ready for finishing directly from three-dimensional CAD data. The designs can be created in a few hours without using any other tools. The DMLS process creates the parts, layer after layer, by casting a fine metallic powder and by using a laser to create extremely complex geometries, like free form surfaces, hollow sections and articulate parts.
