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

"It’s time to start looking beyond the obvious uses of 3D printing -- creating a physical representation of a CAD model -- and really challenge the capabilities of the technology."

“On the one hand you can learn and use the program real quick, on the other hand, the program offers great flexibility in quickly creating different versions of models.”

"As vivid as a 3D CAD model is, it just doesn't tell you as much as a physical model can about what will come off the production line. We're making more money by creating prototypes for our sales force, giving them something concrete and convincing to show major auto companies …

"The speed of Color Jet Printing (CJP) enables us to deliver a very quick turnaround as a rule, even when we brand the customer's models with their 3D printed name and incorporate topography. On every criterion, the ProJet CJP 360 made the most sense."

“The software combination of SOLIDWORKS and GibbsCAM has been fantastic. We model in SolidWorks and store the files in SolidWorks Vault. Programmers retrieve models from the Vault with GibbsCAM and create toolpaths directly off the model or selected geometry. The headlight fixture created a big surge in work from that …

“Our [CAM software] representative heard of our tool wear problem and introduced the GibbsCAM VoluMill™ module. With [that module] we were able to increase cutting depth, use a lot more of the insert, and distribute the load on the cutter. Inserts lasted five times longer, and we removed more material …

“I had done CNC milling and turning, but putting it all on one machine was challenging at first. With [the CAM software], it didn’t take long to learn the process.”

"There's just something about a 3D model that stirs the passions in ways that a blueprint or computer file just can't. 3D printing has become a distinct competitive advantage for us, and ultimately, a tool that significantly benefits our customers. Architectural designers think in spatial terms, and a 3D model …

“We appreciate the kind of service 3D Systems provided us with, Not only was the process short and sweet, but we got a good value for our money! We made the right choice with them.”

“The RobotiX Mentor system allows for convenient acquisition of virtual reality surgical simulation hours in a comfortable, convenient, and non-sterile environment. It allows us to practice both basic and advanced robotic surgical skills in a setting outside of the operating suite. This provides convenience to both attending and resident surgeons …

“3D Systems has boosted that experience with procedural modules, so that now more experienced robotics surgeons can come in and actually practice operations as opposed to just practicing skills. They are getting a lot of benefit from that. There are many parts of operations that are very stress-inducing for the …

"Based on our experience with 3D printing, we believe that in the future 3D printed patient-specific spinal implants will be common for not only complex cases, but degenerative cases too. We're very satisfied, encouraged and excited about the prospects for this and other types of collaboration with 3D Systems in …

"We needed 3D printing capabilities to continue to develop our degenerative and minimally invasive portfolios, and 3D Systems gave us those capabilities."

“As a family from Michoacan and as an enterprise based in Morelia, we are very proud of our culture and traditions, and we wanted to make a tribute to our artisans and their renewed arts and crafts."
