About the author

At first I thought this chapter is superfluous because it's not important. But after inspection of several internet pages I noticed that during reading one often also wants to know details on the author, for example to get at least some few clues about his accumulated experiences. So here a short autobiographical note:

During my study in Munich I met my current chief Prof. Helge Fischer Brandies and we patented a dental method for computer assisted bending of orthodontic archwires. Since beginning of my professional career I also concentrated on further development of this method. 1991 we allocated the license for it to a Berlin development team under the direction of Rüdger Rubbert and Norbert Geyer. It soon engaged mainly in this invention and patented in connection with this own important innovations. The company Orametrix arose and with it several current projects.
