Designer Christmas Tree raises money for Save the Children

We have recently worked with leading architects Foster + Partners to help them create their state-of-the-art ' Tree of Reflections ' Christmas Tree for Save the Children, using our Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology.

Providing a much quicker, more accurate and cost-effective process when compared to other more traditional model-making techniques, our sintering process was ideal for the complex shapes and surfaces of their design, creating a one-off architectural masterpiece.

The layering effect and intricate geometries of white-nylon leaves generated a dynamic play of light and shadow which illuminated the surrounding space with shimmering patterns.
