You can benefit directly from their experience. SIP Biel/Bienne cooperates with specialists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, with its head office in Bern. This is the federal agency in Switzerland, founded in 1888, concerned with matters of intellectual property. Technology and patent information Within two working days of receiving an IP search request, we will contact you to determine the procedure to be followed. As an entry package, we offer a ½-day patent search package for a flat fee. That allows you to assess your product idea with regard to existing patents, so you get freedom to operate (FTO). Patents Modifications in the bibliographic data regarding your protective rights are confirmed within 5 working days. SFI-IP will inform you within 1 month of a missed deadline and tell you how you may proceed. For CH patent applications, we will send you the certificate of filing within 3 working days after the requirements for determining the application date have been met. For a CH patent application, the material examination will be undertaken by a patent expert in the relevant sector as soon as the examination fee has been paid. Then, within 3 months, you will receive either a first office action in the form of either a written notification or telephone technical query, or a notification of completion of the examination. 6 7

5 Trademarks SFI-IP will send a filing receipt for trademark applications filed electronically within eight working days following submission, and within three weeks for applications filed in paper format. Applications that are seemingly straightforward will be examined within a maximum of six working days and will be registered once the fees have been paid. The length of time required for registering a national trademark application is usually between three and four months from the time of payment of the filing fee. From the point of view of the trademark applicant, however, this situation is rather unsatisfactory, particularly if there are no apparent grounds for refusal of the registration. In order to make allowances for this fact, the Institute examines straightforward applications within a maximum of 10 working days following filing and registers the trademark after payment of both the filing fee and any necessary additional class fees. However, only applications whose list of goods and services consist entirely of terms accepted by the Institute s e-trademark ( Standard classes or Search help ) and/or the classification tool ( are eligible for an early trademark examination. For the examination of these applications, the examiners have a very narrow timeframe within which they have to consult a specific selection of databases. The sign can be registered if, within the specified time period: no formal grounds for refusal can be ascertained; no relevant results in the databases can be found; the graphic used or the figurative element of the sign makes it distinctive. YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ON PATENT AND TRADEMARK FROM THESE SOURCES: 2.2 RESEARCH & ENGINEERING SERVICES Electronic and software engineering For the first functional models and prototypes, we use a commercially available CPU board, such as Arduino, Rasberry or X86 embedded PC. We integrate this into a customer-specific electronic design using 3D CAD for the circuitry and development of the PCB board. Make use of the experience of our engineers in implementing your electronic designs. For further miniaturization, we offer chip-on-board designs or develop customerized circuitry (ASICs). At the Innovation Park, software specialists are working on the development of hardware programs (C++, ASM), application programs (Windows, Linux and HTML), database applications and apps for mobile devices (ios, Android, Windows) as well as programming web applications. A variety of processors are used as the central component. We react flexibly to customer-specific hardware or make suggestions for suitable computer architectures. Our experts create chips in VHDL/Verilog for the development of FPGAs, CPLDs and ASICs. To reduce the time needed to develop functioning models and prototypes, we use ready-made computer modules available off-the-shelf in the Innovation Park laboratory. Project-specific functions and connectors are integrated into the mother board, which also carries the computer module. In the commercialization phase with high volume series production (over 1000 units/year), the module can be directly integrated into a product-specific electronic circuit board. We have over 20 years of industrial experience in the development of application-specific electronic boards with the appropriate software and initializing their series production. Relocation service for companies and employees Finding the right home in the right location is critical to ensuring that employees who are being relocated are happy in their new surroundings. Our home finding service makes every effort to ensure that your relocating employees are satisfied with their home life, which will subsequently enable them to work more effectively in their new job. Finding the right location and the appropriate home for them depends on a clear understanding of their personal needs as well as your company s business needs. We offer a flexible home finding service which matches up both of these elements to achieve the best value within the specified budget and policy. Our aim is to ensure the long-term success of the employee s relocation. Processing and coordinating visas as well as assisting with the documentation for work and residence permits can be a complicated and time consuming process. It is, however, the first step to a successful relocation. We assist and support the application procedures for visas and work permits in Switzerland. We coordinate and manage the process with the relevant authorities on behalf of the assignee. Wireless communication: Bluetooth Low Energy LoRa (WAN) WIFI IEEE ZigBee Radio 8 9

6 Mechanical design / Engineering / Simulation From the initial idea to a project ready to go into production With our services in concept development and simulation, we come full circle for an all-emcompassing innovation process: from the first idea to the mature concept. As a smooth-running team, we offer know-how in the commercialization of consumer goods in the fields of power tools, medical technology, telecommunications and vehicles. With our wide range of knowledge acquired though practical experience, we have a proven development method and can transform innovative ideas quickly into realizable products. In cooperation with research institutes, we act as a link providing the bridge between theory and practice. Through the interaction between concept development and simulation we quickly achieve a high concept maturity, which we test and verify using real models in our laboratory. Through analysis of the test results, we can compare our virtual prototypes, creating and optimizing variants. In this way we are able to shorten development times and ease the pressure on the project budget. We excel through close interaction and short lines of communication under a single roof. We base our work on a solid relationship of trust with our customers. Simulation: the laboratory of tomorrow With simulation, designs can be thoroughly analysed and optimized at an early stage of development. Weaknesses in the design can be specifically targeted and eliminated, thus reducing the need for costly change procedures. Simulation offers an insight into the underlying physics and leads to a deeper understanding not possible simply by carrying out tests. Static and dynamic calculations Linear and nonlinear calculations Natural frequencies, harmonic analysis Material substitution / lightweight construction Topology optimization (e.g. weight reduction) Stress analysis according to FKM guideline Steady-state and transient CFD calculations taking into account thermal effects (e.g. fan / cooling optimization) Plastics, metals, rubber, die casting Injection moulding simulation (optimization process, gate mark, filling, dwell pressure, distortion, cooling, parting lines, blowholes, material build-ups, fibre orientation) Concept development: holistic approach to innovation In concept development, as an expert partner we are available both as a consultant and to give hands-on support. Our offer can be tailored to size to suit the needs of our customers, providing startups the opportunity to achieve their project goals both cost-effectively and on schedule with internal resources. Our wide-ranging and flexible team covers the following areas: Research and product analysis Basic and detail design Layout and aesthetic design Ergonomic studies and functional analyses Manufacturing process and selection of materials Plastic & die-casting technology Stamping & bending technology Motion analysis Drives & transmission design Display, keyboards, switches Acoustics 3D CAD and visualization: from virtual model to implementation 3D CAD is used as the basis for concept development of virtual and real models. The data are also used for visualizations, technical drawings, simulations and prototypes, as well as for jigs & fixtures in the test laboratory Reverse engineering / 3D digitizing The modern process called reverse engineering takes a part and reconstructs its dimensional data in such a way that new parts, moulds or tools can be recreated. Another way of illustrating the reverse engineering process is showing how it measures a physical part or artefact resulting in the creation of new CAD geometry or manufacturing drawings. To perform these modern manufacturing procedures a 3D CAD file is generated from scanning data. This enables the precision reverse engineering of components. The most common reason for using reverse engineering is to design or modify a product so that it can be manufactured more efficiently or to maximize the use of modern manufacturing equipment. Conventional hand-held instruments, non-contact inspection equipment or coordinate measuring machines are used to determine the precise geometry, and it is important in all reverse engineering projects that the appropriate technique be used to capture such geometry. Such techniques include laser scanners, stereo-digitizers and x-ray computed tomography (CT). A company s expertise in providing accurate reverse engineering services is contingent on the process. It is essential to measure a part accurately and to reproduce its geometry from the measured results. Although it is of course advantageous to have some experience of the product being reverse-engineed, the skills and expertise required to replicate complex geometry are even more valuable. Therefore, an important pre-requisite for any reverse engineering function this experience in providing accurate dimensional inspection services

7 In the reverse engineering projects undertaken at SIP Biel/Bienne our experts examine how the specific products work. Our services include the provision of a range of customized digitizing services to fit almost all products, sectors and sizes with the final provision of a 3D CAD file. We carefully review the reverse engineering results for each of our clients so that we can present the results in the optimum way. We use 2D and 3D technology to capture data points using non-contact methods such as lasers and x-rays. The collected data points are delivered in convenient 3D CAD formats as specified by our clients. Many of our clients are consultants, lawyers and engineering companies who request data retrieval of part geometry or the generation of part prints. The data is generated by scanning the XYZ-coordinates of points and supplying these in an ASCII, DXF or IGES format. Here are some of the sectors which use our reverse engineering services: Aerospace Medical devices & diagnostics Prosthetics & implants Tools, dies, jigs & fixtures Electronics Automotive Casting Machining Rapid prototyping (RP) The challenge: a continuous flow of fresh, innovative ideas and approaches to solve specific project problems. Does this sound a familiar refrain for your company or team? Do you find yourself in the midst of the development of an innovative digital product and are being held back by circumstances in transferring your idea online, or do you just want to energize your innovation process with a reinforced team using state-of-the-art techniques? If this is the case, our digital innovation services are just what you need. What is silicone mold vacuum casting? Silicone mould vacuum casting is used for production runs or to duplicate prototypes and models by using the model or pieces produced by CNC, SLA or SLS or sculptured objects made by clay carving as a master mould to make the silicone rubber mould. This silicone rubber mould is then used in vacuum casting to produce accurate duplicates of the original products. The maximum size is mm, and tolerances can be controlled to 100 mm ±0.20 mm. What is 3D additive manufacturing? Additive Rapid Prototyping (RP) processes are based on the polymerization of photopolymer resins. SLA is one of the most effective types of Additive Rapid Prototyping. Starting from 3D data in.stl file format, we produce high resolution form, fit and functional parts. We can take your idea from the design concept to a complex solid model in a matter of hours. What is CNC milling? CNC milling is a machining process whereby a rotating tool moves material from a block. In CNC milling the cutting tool is moved in three or five dimensions to create the part shape required. The cutting tool usually rotates around its own axis, extending out from a rotating spindle. A block of material is placed on a moving table below the cutter. While the cutting tool rotates, a computer controls the vertical (Z-axis) motion of the cutter and the horizontal (X- and Y-axis) motion of the workpiece. The guided cutter moves through the block to be machined, removing the unwanted material to create the desired shape. The axes are computer numerically controlled (CNC). The data is generated from the 3D CAD part geometry with using Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) application software

Furthermore our staff are certified to: PC-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies J-STD Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies 3D scanning techniques used for reverse engineering have several basic aspects in common: There is no contact between the measurement device and the part Digital files are «constructed» from measured data (either a series of points or mesh elements) The geometry of physical objects is collated by means of hundreds of thousands or millions of measurements. Laser Scanning Laser scanning scans the surface of an object and captures data represented as a collection of points (a point cloud) from which a 3D surface is then generated. This enables the digitization and accurate reproduction of parts that would be very difficult to measure with precision. Laser scanning is most appropriate for free-form surfaces of medium detail and non-uniformity, e.g. body panels, metal castings. Data collected via laser scanning can also be integrated with existing solid 3D models, known as hybrid modelling. Laser scanners can either be handheld (requiring the user to move around the object capturing data points) or fixed (requiring the part that is being scanned to be manipulated). The mounting of laser scanners on robotic arms for accurate surface tracking and high repeatability is also becoming more common. CT X-Ray Scanning Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning uses x-rays to create an accurate representation of a component. CT scanners work by placing an object on a turntable between an x-ray tube and a detector. The detector captures multiple x-ray images of an object as it rotates 360 degrees, acquiring the outer dimensions, internal geometry and density within the object s walls. The series of 2D images are then run through a reconstruction algorithm that creates a 3D volumetric model. CT scanners are generally large, expensive industrial machines and the object to be measured is placed inside of them. One major benefit of this type of reverse engineering is that this technology is able to inspect a part both internally and externally, in a non-destructive way, creating highly detailed 3D models with complex geometry. The ability to see inside a component is beneficial as it allows internal components to be seen in their functioning position. It is also especially useful to inspect and verify parts used in critical applications such as aerospace. These parts can be CT scanned to reveal any imperfections or voids which could lead to failure once the part is in use

11 3.7 TESTING & MEASURMENT LABORATORY 3.8 CLEANROOM X-Ray 3D Inspection / Tomography laboratory In the same way as tomography and x-ray computed tomography, x-ray microtomography uses x-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object that can be used to recreate a virtual model (3D model) without destroying the original object.

12 3.11 SWISS ADVANCED MANUFACTURING CENTER (SAMC) Additive manufacturing is a comprehensive term for various modern manufacturing processes in which, on the basis of 3D construction data, the thinnest material layers are built up into a complex, solid component. Additive manufacturing also called rapid prototyping is a fast and cost-effective solution for making prototypes and final products. The most important steps in the process sequence from the 3D model to the finished product are presented and explained below. 3D Model Swiss Advanced Manufacturing Center Printing Before printing, ensure that the previously selected material is loaded in the printer. The two most commonly used materials in the field of additive manufacturing are PLA (polyactide) and ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers). Once the printing has started, rapid prototyping machines no longer need to be monitored. The machine follows an automatic process, adding one layer after the other according to the preset parameters until the component is completed. The creation of a 3D model is the first step in the additive manufacturing process. There are different ways of doing this. The most widely used method is Computer Aided Design (CAD). The 3D model is created on the computer using an appropriate software. For this purpose, various open source programs are available online. For users who do not have the necessary skills in using such programs, millions of ready-made files are available to download and print from various online platforms. A further possibility is the use of a 3D scanner with the aid of which the geometry data can be read in and subsequently converted into the required file format for 3D printing with an integrated software. After printing Depending on the production technology and the geometry chosen, so-called support structures may be needed to achieve a satisfactory result. These auxiliary structures ensure that the geometry is built up as intended during the printing process and that no defects occur in the surface. The support structures can be removed easily after the component has been taken out. Standard Tessellation Language (STL) For a 3D printer to be able to read the generated 3D model, the CAD model needs to be converted into a suitable format. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) file format is used to describe the surface of the object with the aid of polygons. Slicing In the next step, the STL file is loaded into a slicing program. The program divides the 3D model into thin layers, corresponding to the layers to be subsequently printed by the 3D printer. In addition, the desired printing parameters are chosen and set. This mainly concerns the choice of the layer thickness and the material. During printing, the layer program automatically converts the STL data into G-Code. This is used in computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to control automated machines, including 3D printers. Finishing operations Different additive manufacturing processes require different finishing operations. For example, in the case of stereolithography (SLA) treatment with UV light is advisable. In general, most materials used for rapid prototyping are compatible with the common post-processing techniques

13 Vat photopolymerization Material extrusion D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION Vat photopolymerization Photopolymerization occurs when a photopolymer resin is exposed to light of a specific wavelength and undergoes a chemical reaction to become solid. A number of additive technologies utilize this phenomenon to build up a solid part one layer at a time. Technologies SLA Plastic Plastic & Composit Stereolithography (SLA) uses a build platform submerged into a translucent tank filled with liquid photopolymer resin. Once the build platform is submerged, a single point laser located inside the machine maps a cross-sectional area (layer) of a design through the bottom of the tank solidifying the material. After the layer has been mapped and solidified by the laser, the platform lifts up and lets a new layer of resin flow beneath the part. This process is repeated layer by layer to produce a solid part. Parts are typically then cured by UV to improve mechanical properties. Applications Vat polymerization processes are excellent at producing parts with fine details and give a smooth surface finish. This makes them ideal for jewelry, investment casting and many dental and medical applications. Material developments have also allowed the printing of low run injection molds. The main limitations for vat polymerization are the build size.

14 D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FUSED DEPOSITION MOLDING (FDM) D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY MATERIAL JETTING Material jetting Material extrusion technologies extrude a material through a nozzle onto a build plate in a similar way to toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube. A pre-determined path is followed building a part up layer by layer. Technologies Material jetting is often compared to the 2D ink jetting process. By utilizing photopolymers, metals or wax that cure or harden when exposed to light or elevated temperatures, parts are built up (printed) one layer at a time. The nature of the material jetting process allows for different materials to be printed in the same part. This is often utilized by printing support from a different material during the build phase. FDM Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) (sometimes also referred to as fused filament fabrication or FFF) uses a string of solid thermoplastic material (filament), pushing it through a heated nozzle and melting it in the process. The printer continuously moves this nozzle around, laying down the melted material at a precise location, where it instantly cools down and solidifies. This builds up a part layer by layer. FDM is the most widely used 3D printing technology. Applications A quick and cost-effective method for producing non-functional prototypes, FDM has some dimensional accuracy limitations and is very anisotropic. Technologies Material jetting Applications Material jetting dispenses a photopolymer from hundreds of tiny jets in a printhead to build up a part layer by layer. This enables material jetting operations to deposit build material in a rapid, line-wise fashion compared to other point-wise deposition technologies that follow a path to complete the cross-sectional area of a layer. As the droplets are deposited to the build platform they are cured by UV light. Material jetting processes require support and this is often printed simultaneously during the build from a dissolvable material that is easily removed during post-processing. Feed mechanism Filament Material jetting is ideally suited for realistic prototypes, providing excellent details, high accuracy and smooth surface finish. Material jetting allows a designer to print a design in multiple colors and a number of materials in a single print. The main drawbacks to printing with material jetting technologies are the high cost and the fact that the UV activated photopolymers lose mechanical properties over time.

15 D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS) D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY SELECTIVE LASER MELTING (SLM) Technologies SLS Applications Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a laser to sinter thin layers of powdered material one layer at a time to create a solid structure. The process begins by spreading an initial layer of powder over a build platform. The cross-section of the part is then sintered by the laser (solidifying it) at which point the build platform drops down one layer thickness. A fresh layer of powder is applied and the process is repeated until a solid part is produced. The result of this process is a component completely encased in unsintered powder. The part is removed from the powder and then cleaned (typically with pressurized air). In industry, SLS generally refers to the sintering process used to produce nylon (sometimes also ceramic) parts from powder. PBF technologies offer a lot of design freedom (typically no need for support) allowing for complex geometries to easily be built. Parts typically possess high strength and stiffness with a large range of post-processing methods available meaning that often PBF is used to manufacture end parts. The limitations of PBF often center around surface finish (surface porosity and roughness), part shrinkage or distortion and the challenges associated with powder handling and disposal. Technologies SLM/DMLS Applications Both selective laser melting (SLM) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) produce parts via the same method as SLS with the main difference being that SLM and DMLS are used in the production of metal parts. SLM is used for producing pure metal parts while DMLS can also print with some alloys. Generally, unlike SLS, SLM and DMLS also require support to be included to compensate for the high residual stresses generated during the build process, helping to limit the likelihood of distortion occurring. DMLS is the most well established metal AM process with the largest installed base.

16 3.12 3D ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING COSTS D PRINT LAYOUT Cost The cost of manufacture can be broken down into three categories, namely machine operation costs, material costs and labour costs. Machine operation costs Most desktop 3D printers use the same amount of power as a laptop computer. Many industrial additive manufacturing technologies consume a high amount of energy to produce one single part, however the ability to produce complex geometries in a single step results in higher efficiency and turnaround. Machine operation costs are typically the lowest contributor to the overall cost of manufacture. Material costs Material costs for additive manufacturing vary significantly by technology. Desktop FDM printers use filament coils that cost around $25 per kg while SLA printing requires resin that retails around $150 per litre. The range of materials available for additive manufacturing make quantifying a comparison with traditional manufacturing difficult. Nylon powder used in SLS costs around $70 per kg while comparable nylon pellets used in injection moulding can be purchased for as little as $2 $5 per kg. Material costs are the biggest contributor to the cost of a part made via additive manufacturing. Labour costs One of the main advantages of 3D printing is the cost of labour. Post-processing aside, the majority of 3D printers only require one operator to press a button. The machine then follows a completely automated process to produce the part. Compared to traditional manufacturing where highly skilled machinists and operators are typically required, the labour costs far a 3D printer are almost zero. Technologies and materials The table below discusses the main 3D printing technologies and whether they are appropriate for printing snap-fit joints. Process FDM SLA SLS Polyjet Binder jetting Description Cheap and effective way of manufacturing snap fit connections but lower accuracy than other printing methods. When printing with FDM it s recommended to use strain resistant materials such as ABS, Polycarbonate and PEEK. SLA resins can also be used for snap-fits but tend to be quite brittle making them less ideal. SLS suitable for printing functional snap-fit prototypes or end use parts that will be opened and closed many times. For maximum tear resistance consider using an SLS nylon. Good strength and elasticity combined with high resolution details makes material jetting ideal for snap-fit applications. Simulated polypropylene and simulated ABS are the most common Polyjet materials for snap-fits because of their toughness and flexibility. Not suited for snap-fit connections. A standard FDM print can be broken down into 4 sections. The parameters of these sections can each be altered to optimize a design: 1. Shells The walls of the print that are exposed to the outside of the model. 2. Bottom layers (a type of shell) The part of the print that is exposed to the outside of the model, facing the build plate. 3. Top layers layers (a type of shell) The parts of the print that are exposed to the outside of the model, facing upwards, towards the nozzle. Typically this surface will have the best surface finish. 4. Infill The internal structure of the print Additional Information about Shells Shells are the number of layers on the outside of a print. For FDM shells are always the first areas to be printed per layer. Several shell-related design considerations for FDM printing are: Strength can be added by increasing the shell thickness. This allows for a slightly more robust print without having to increase the amount of material used for infill. Most slicer programs allow shell thickness to be adjusted even allowing areas of high stress to be customized with a high shell density offering localized areas of high strength. If a print is to be finished by sanding or chemical smoothing, increased shell thickness is often necessary as post-processing methods reduce the thickness of the surface of the model. Any increase in the number of shells also increases the amount of time and material required to print the model increasing overall part cost. Shells typically consist of a specified number of nozzle diameters. It is always good to design shells to be a multiple of nozzle diameter to prevent voids from being formed.

17 4. 3D PRINTING MATERIALS GUIDE Material Selection 4.1 General-purpose plastics General purpose plastics, printed on FDM printers, are ideal for designers and engineers to cost-effectively produce and test a design. Rapid low cost prototyping enables more design iterations resulting in greater control over the design process and improved end products. This means that products can be brought to market faster. General purpose plastics are best suited for fit or form checks but are also suitable for printing functional parts such as enclosures and custom piping. Strengths Rapid turnaround time Inexpensive Form and fit prototyping 4.2 High-detail resin Limitations Tolerance of +/- l mm Overhangs require supports which affect surface finish Print layers are visible Anisotropic (weak in the Z direction) UV-cured resin prints display fine details, sharp edges and a smooth finish. Colour availability is limited, but it is easily paintable and can also be semi-translucent. High Detail Resin is ideal for printing intricate designs and sculptures, as up to 0.2mm is sufficient to create clearly visible details. Apart from size, resin comes with hardly any design restrictions. Strengths Intricate designs and sculptures Small, high detail models Jewelry, art 3D print in high-detail resin Investment casting 4.3 SLS nylon Limitations Large models Extensive exposure to UV light Extremely versatile with easy design rules, nylon is strong and slightly flexible and enables functional end products and complex designs. Its surface is a bit grainy, but it can be polished for a smooth finish. Nylon prints are laser sintered on industrial 3D printers. This technology provides a high degree of form freedom and you can even print moving parts in one process. Strengths Limitations 4.4 Rubber-like plastics With rubber-like plastic (Tango), you can simulate rubber with various levels of elastomer properties including Shore Scale A hardness, elongation at break, tear resistance and tensile strength. This material enables you to simulate a wide variety of finished products, such as non-slip or soft surfaces on consumer electronics, medical devices and automotive interiors. Strengths Detailed models with various level of flexibility Soft-touch coatings, grips or nonslip surfaces Fine details and smooth surfaces Overmoulding solid objects with rubber-like surroundings 4.5 Transparent plastics Limitations End products (sensitive to UV light) Transparent plastic is one of the clearest 3D printing materials available and combines clarity with high precision and a smooth surface finish. This material is ideal for form and fit testing of see-through parts, fine-detail model building, enabling theprototyping of clear and tinted products ranging from eyewear and lighting covers to medical devices. Strengths Form and fit testing of see-through parts such as glass consumer products, eyewear, lighting covers and cases Fine-detail models with smooth surfaces Sales, marketing and exhibition models Medical or scientific visualizations 4.6 Full-colour sandstone Limitations End products (sensitive to UV light) Full-colour sandstone Gypsum with a coloured texture on the surface. This is the best choice for photo-realistic, full-colour prints and is ideal for professional (scale) models, architecture, product design and fine arts. Full-colour sandstone is not suitable for protruding features smaller than 3 mm due to the brittleness of the material. Also walls have to be wider than 2 mm. Strengths Architectural models Lifelike sculptures Gifts and memorabilia 3D print in full-colour sandstone Complex models 4.7 Full-colour PLA Limitations Functional parts Intricate features Full-colour plastics with 360,000 different colours, assigned to any combination of rigid, flexible, transparent or opaque materials and their composites to a single model or assorted tray. Functional prototypes and end products Complex designs with intricate details Moving and assembled parts Cases, holders, adapters Cavities within design (unless making use of escape holes) Strengths Functional parts Complex models Fine details with colours, transparent and rubber-like mixed material Limitations End product (sensitive to UV light) 32 33

22 5. CERTIFICATION AND STANDARTS 5.1 ISO 9001 Quality Management ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement). It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. In fact, there are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and involvement of top management, the process approach and continuous improvement. These principles are explained in more detail in the Quality Management Principles. Using ISO 9001:2015 helps ensure that clients receive consistent, good quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits. 5.2 CE Marking Overall summary of the CE Marking process A typical computing product 1. First you must determine whether your product requires a Notified Body Lab or if you can Self-Certify it. Most digital computing product types are eligible for Self-Certification. If a product could seriously injure someone, is used in the operating room, or operates in a dangerous environment, the product probably requires the involvement of a Notified Body. See the details below for examples of products that can and cannot be Self-Certified. 2. Identify the appropriate standards for your product, usually EMC and Product Safety. 3. Conduct the EMC testing (emissions and immunity) and have the product checked for product safety and any other relevant standards. 4. When the EMC and product safety evaluations are finished, and you have test reports stating the product has passed, you must compile a one page Declaration of Conformity (DoC) document that will ship with the unit into the EU. See details of the DoC later in this guide. 5. Apply the CE Marking to the unit and also to the packaging. It is customary to also include the DoC as a page in the User Guide and include a copy with the shipping documents. 6. Create a Technical Construction File (TCF) that contains the necessary technical information to back up your claim that your product complies with CE Marking requirements. This file needs to be made available, upon request, to government authorities in the EU. 7. SHIP IT into the EU. Although the EU has more tests for the CE Marking than the FCC requires in America, the EU has made simplified and accelerated the process by allowing manufacturers to Self-Certify. Self-Certify means a manufacturer can create an in-house test lab to carry out all the testing or use an outside resource that already has the test equipment and expertise such as EMI Test Lab. 5.3 Vehicle type approval When it comes to vehicle type approval this convention enables standardized technical regulations at an international level to be adopted along with reciprocal acknowledgement and registration by the contracting parties to the convention. The regulations are recommendations which the respective contracting countries can integrate into their own national laws. The European Community also accepts ECE regulations for all European Community Member-States. Most of these ECE regulations are integrated into respective national laws. They cover most of the parts and equipment of motor vehicles which are relevant to the issue of a type-approval. These regulations are constantly being adapted to keep pace with technical advancements. Each vehicle, component or equipment for which ECE approval has been granted shall display an international approval mark ( ECE» Mark of Conformity) consisting of, among other things, a circle bearing the letter E» and the country code of the country issuing the approval. Thus E1» stands for Germany, E14» for Switzerland, etc. 5.4 ISO Approval of medical devices The primary objective of ISO 13485:2003 is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory require-ments for quality management systems. As a result, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. Because of these exclusions, organizations whose quality management systems conform to this International Standard cannot claim conformity to ISO 9001 unless their quality management systems conform to all the requirements of ISO

23 All requirements of ISO 13485:2003 are specific to organizations providing medical devices, regard-less of the type or size of the organization. 5.5 MIL-STD-810 standart Test Method Acidic Atmosphere Test Method Gunfire Shock Test Method Temperature, Humidity, Vibration, and Altitude Test Method Icing/Freezing Rain Test Method Ballistic Shock Test Method Vibro-Acoustic/Temperature Test Method 524 Freeze / Thaw Test Method 525 Time Waveform Replication Test Method 526 Rail Impact. Test Method 527 Multi-Exciter Test Method 528 Mechanical Vibrations of Shipboard Equipment (Type I Environmental and Type II Internally Excited) 5.6 EMC/EMI-Electromagnetic compatibility The purpose of EMC is to ensure the reliability and safety of all types of systems wherever they are used and exposed to electromagnetic environments. Therefore, EMC deployment is closely linked to all aspects of electrical and electronic engineering, including the design of these systems. This issue is of concern to industries which develop, test and manufacture equipment and also to those who rely on, for example, omnipresent electronic elements in heart pacemakers, ABS vehicle braking systems, laptop computers or air traffic control systems. It follows therefore that IEC, with its global coverage of International Standards and other technical publications, has been deeply involved with EMC for many decades and will continue to be so. MIL-STD-810 is a flexible standard that enables users to customize test methods to matchthe specific application. As a result, a vendor s claims of...compliance with MIL-STD can be misleading. Because no commercial organization or agency certifies compliance, commercial vendors can create their own test methods or approaches to fit their own product. Suppliers can and some do take significant latitude with how they test their products, and how they report the test results. When queried, many manufacturers will admit that no testing has actually taken place and that the product is only designed/ engineered/ built to comply with the standard. This is because many of the tests described can be expensive to perform and usually require special facilities. Consumers who require rugged products should verify which against which test methods compliance is claimed and which parameter limits were selected for testing. Also, if some testing was actually done they would have to specify: (i) against which test methods of the standard compliance is claimed; (ii) to which parameter limits the items were actually tested; and (iii) whether the testing was done internally or externally by an independent testing facility. Specific examples of Test Methods called out in MIL-STD-810G are listed below: Test Method Low Pressure (Altitude) Test Method High Temperature Test Method Low Temperature Test Method Temperature Shock Test Method Contamination by Fluids Test Method Solar Radiation (Sunshine) Test Method Rain Test Method Humidity Test Method Fungus Test Method Salt Fog Test Method Sand and Dust Test Method Explosive Atmosphere Test Method Immersion Test Method Acceleration Test Method Vibration Test Method Acoustic Noise Test Method Shock Test Method Pyroshock SI.
