Success Story "FutureFactories"

FutureFactories a UK-based company founded by Lionel T. Dean, has been leading the way in applying the unique possibilities of e-Manufacturing to the creation of novel fashion and consumer products. In recent years they have used laser-sintering to create plastic lamps and chairs as well as metal jewellery products with eye-catching geometries, which typically would be difficult or impossible to manufacture in other ways. These have created great interest in the design world, for example the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired a Tuber9 laser-sintered lamp for their permanent Design Collection. www.futurefactories.com
