“Every feature is more or less conventional, but putting them together in a single compact and competitive mechanism is really a challenge.”

“Individualization will deliver better implants, faster and easier surgery, and better patient outcomes at a reasonable cost. The reoperation rates in spine surgery are by far higher than, for example, with hip or knee implants. It is our mission to change this outcome statistic.”

“I needed tools but didn’t need them to take up much space. These products from 3D Systems are a perfect fit and were quite inexpensive.”

“We would be lost without GibbsCAM to program these machines. It seems that part complexity has increased over the years, and the software allows us to keep up.”

“We set out to make a shin guard that fits the body better than any other model on the market. We scanned numerous players and developed sizes based on real world data to provide an anatomical fit.”

“SLS allows us to create final products that meet our demands, and is compatible with a broad range of materials that suit our, and our clients’, different needs.”

"Greatly reduced work we need to do ourselves, I don’t think we would have the level of quality without Rapidform.dll,” and it “worked great, I’m very happy with it.”

“Beyond the necessary accuracy of the part itself, we had very strict fluid cleanliness requirements for the inverter coil that could only be achieved by partnering with 3D Systems. Their proprietary cleaning process has a proven track record in high performance applications for delivering particle-free components, even on challenging internal …

“Even if we don’t make the tool. We will quote a job to run the parts. We also have run into customers who were not satisfied with their work done offshore.”

“We gravitate toward designs that are unique for 3D printing and that are organic. We push the limits of the geometry design and push the limits of design for additive to get more people to use additive and see what it can do.”

“We worked closely with 3D System’s AIG team as we iterated the design. Our form pushed the printability to the edge in parallel with the consideration of the overall structure. Their folks were able to help us improve the design throughout the process to avoid excessive flexibility.”

“We have an extensive file-server system and pride ourselves on being extremely proficient at keeping archived data, But so often the reverse-engineering work I do revolves around recreating data that a customer can no longer locate. There’s generally no down time available in production tool runs, so when they need …

“I think our drive to help others is one of the reasons Rapid Application Group is growing so quickly. I’ve never believed in wishing things were different, but I will absolutely put in the work that’s required for change.”

“The ability to hold the life size 3D model enables me to better understand the structure of a fracture, plan an operation and try to understand what the future limitations of the fracture may be.”

"The shift from 2D to 3D analyses, while still very new, has already made a tremendous difference. It is allowing us to expand our analyses and generate replicable results.”
