About the Company:

LUNAAR is an expert in augmented collaboration based in France. They support companies in their digital transformation thanks to Assisted & Augmented Reality (AR), in worldwide deployments.

They are one of the few gold partners of RealWear, which is a leader in the AR market, designing robust and reliable smart glasses for all contexts, even the most hostile. Lunaar allows collaboration between frontline workers and experts anywhere in the world.

OVERVIEW OF PROJECT

About the Project:

Lunaar is a reseller (Gold Partners) of RealWear products, a product that has been designed to fit most PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), but not to all of them! These smart glasses are not compatible with all the helmets on the markets, because helmet producers have their own designs. 3D printing gave the opportunity to Lunaar to develop several connectors capable of adjusting to most helmets, which opened new possibilities for them and helped to sell their smart glasses to many more customers.

Lunaar steps

Sculpteo’s 3D printing service accompanies Lunaar in the design, development and 3D printing of very specific clips, flexible and robust at the same time, in order to fix their connected glasses on the safety helmets of their customers.

Overcoming Challenges:

Instead of relying on “off-the-shelf” solutions, the flexibility provided by 3D printing enables designs to be exactly adjusted to the real circumstances. Since you are no longer limited to using conventional components, the design can be adjusted to the environment in which it will be used.

By changing the 3D model, additive manufacturing’s versatility allows to adjust the products to the needs of the customers. In this case, additive manufacturing allows Lunaar to manufacture adapted connections for a reasonable price. With a competitive pricing for small series production, additive manufacturing is ideal to produce batches of up to 500 connectors for certain customers that were equipped with particular helmets.

Thanks to the attractive prices of 3D printing and the flexibility of Sculpteo, Lunaar provides different references to a wide variety of helmet brands, in order to be as reactive as possible for their customers and gain in competitiveness.

Sustainable material

Ultrasint® PA11 bio-derived

The material used to develop these clips is a material based on 100% renewable biomass sources, Ultrasint® PA11. Ultrasint PA11 is a bio-derived powder with high toughness. An important feature of this material is that it provides good ductility and impact strength for numerous applications. For any professional looking for a material resistant to load and mechanical stress. Ultrasint® PA11 is an excellent alternative to Nylon PA12, this material is based on 100% renewable biomass sources. The Castor seed is extracted from the castor plant to make oil. and the oil is then converted into the monomer (11-aminoundecanoic acid), which is finally polymerized into Polyamide 11.

With this digitalization of operations, Lunaar is helping their clients to gain in sustainability by removing the need of printing many complex procedures, and more importantly removing the need of traveling for experts around the globe.
