Cooksongold part of the Heimerle + Meule Group together with strategic partner EOS,
the Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology and market leader, today launches the PRECIOUS
M 080 Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) system at the Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair

introduces an innovative, paradigm shifting technology to the luxury goods industry. With

David Fletcher, European Product Manager, Cooksongold, adds: "The DMLS technology
challenges a designer's imagination and enables the creation of jewellery and watch
components that previously would have been impossible to successfully manufacture. AM will
change the economics of producing watch and jewellery products by offering a streamlined
manufacturing process that dramatically reduces the time required from design conception
to final part realisation. DMLS will also enable the production of design driven pieces
that are not limited by the restrictions of conventional production techniques such as
lost wax casting."
At Cooksongold, product and service offerings will range from the sale and
installation of a PRECIOUS M 080 machine and the supporting supply chain for jewellery and
watch production including licences, Advanced Metal Powder, software and training.
Cooksongold will also provide consultation for a DMLS-driven design process and bureau
service production of bespoke precious metal parts.
