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

"Although I might choose chemistry, I've become computer savvy through these courses, this competition and, in particular, my experience with the 3D printer. It's been immensely valuable to gain the multifaceted insight that comes with designing and prototyping high-performance products in a businesslike environment."

“They will make or break you. If the horsepower of an engine is less than expected, the head design is the first thing looked at.”

“We are saving hundreds of man hours each year using the 3D laser scanner and Geomagic Design X to scan cars and design new exhaust systems directly from the scan data, and we’re doing it more precisely and with higher customer satisfaction. Our customers don’t have to leave their cars …

“I want to have my sculptors use the FreeForm system from scratch, from the very beginning of the design process.”

“FreeForm takes the costly and time-consuming need to re-sculpt out of the picture.”

“The three openings on the plates are cut at angles to match the flighting, and I had been milling them with simple surface machining. Using the five-axis option made it easier, and using five-axis milling strategies results in a much smoother, cleaner surface.”

“It was Aron Bishop who made it happen, using the rotary fourth axis programmed with GibbsCAM five-axis, Without that combination, we would not have been able to make the part.”

“Sometimes a FAIR will take six months alone before you can even start your manufacturing, but within three to four months we were approved and shipping product for a foreign military. In terms of speed to market in aerospace, that’s very, very fast.”

“We are working on revolutionizing the O&P industry and Geomagic Freeform is the basis of this revolution.”

“Digitization offers us modeling capabilities we never had before, which enables us to meet the patient’s functional and aesthetic requests.”

"We’ve been looking for a system that is easy to use for the maintenance engineer but has the ability to provide more in-depth reports if required by support staff. It must be accurate, repeatable and most of all, mobile, as AOG events can occur anywhere within our network of 136 …

“We have had no problems with Design X. It has proved its ability to rapidly create machinable surfaces for our body and chassis stamping dies.”

“What excites me is that you can can build anything in a machine shop. If you can dream it up, you can build it. Right now, we’re still getting our feet on the ground and consolidating our customer base. We want to go after more medical work for our Stars, …

“It was impressive with the machine tool in its real colors, performing the exact motions going on at the machine.”
