ALL IN

ALL IN is the world’s first, entirely 3D printed task light, including all mechanical components and the particularity of specially developed, sintered torque hinges. Really everything except the heatsink, the LED and its electronic components, is thus toollessly produced in one single location, in one piece, in one go and from one material, eliminating need for manual assembly by almost 100% and pushing recyclability to a whole new level.

In contrast to a product often consisting of up to 100 different parts, ALL IN reduces this component count  to less than 10. It is designed to be folded into itself to be as space saving as possible during production and transport, while weighing in at less than 400g. With the currently available technology, 56 task lights can be produced at once in an industry standard laser sintering printer.

ALL IN illustrates how existing systems of industrial mass production can be rethought and the complex logistic chains of global commodity flows be radically shortened with the help of the innovation potential of additive manufacturing. A single digital file replaces expensive industrial tooling, extensive assembly lines or costly storage. Formerly dozens of individual components of various origins, materials and coatings are being replaced by a newly conceived product, made almost entirely from one material, in one place, in one operation and on one machine.

The possible savings in industrial tooling and equipment, transportation costs, fuel consumption and storage space, potentials for material economy and recyclability resulting from such a new way of conceiving products are still unheard of.
