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

“We had a dream: to bring a greenhouse into everyone's home. A greenhouse capable of growing plants without needing a green thumb. Thanks to 3D Systems, this dream has become reality: Linfa, a small greenhouse made in Italy, molded with the best plastics by the industrial molding leader.”

"We would model the cutting tool, get our tool position from the software, then do manual G-code programming. We were doing very simple things with the software, using it only as support, but I had been trained and knew its capabilities."

"We were looking for a die design solution and CimatronE came highly recommended to us by others in the industry. CimatronE enabled us to work quickly and accurately and perform many functions that other programs simply didn’t have. I’d happily recommend it to other die makers."

"Error-free production has become the reality at Gira thanks to CimatronE’s automated electrode solution."

“Our accuracy is significantly better now We have taken human decision out of the process. Our current process has removed sources of uncertainty and is now defendable and repeatable."

"Why do we use Cimatron? Because it works! That’s it in a nutshell, it flat out works. All software looks cool in the demo, but Cimatron works in REAL life, with REAL problems and obstacles."

“In the past, we’ve had to order components completely finished, We have to plan months in advance for that. Now, we may be able to cut back on lead times and maybe even cost. At the end of the day, when these parts are in operation, they are under water …

“We also got a lot of value out of the VoluMill option in the GibbsCAM program, which is supposed to maximize material removal rates by building toolpaths that control tool cutting factors. The process takes into account the best option for milling pockets. With the long extensions on the tools …

“Another advantage we had was that when we did the static balancing on the completely assembled hubs, one was only out by seven pounds, and the other was out by just nine pounds, In the old days, when you had to grind the clearances on these cast hubs, you would …

“The voice of the Costa Rican nation was raised loudly and clearly and we have the privilege of being part of this team that provided a second chance for life to this beautiful sentient being. A team of great humans and gifted professionals executed a never-seen-before act of love in …

“Scanning a live toucan without anesthesia was difficult. We made two or three different scans to make sure we had all the data we needed. The toucan stayed very still but the clock was ticking.”

“The first hurdle was the fact that we didn’t have a CAD model for the car’s shell, We had a week to reverse-engineer the entire body.”

"It would be impossible to handcraft these forms without the help of algorithms, software and fabrication technology like 3D printing. 3D printing produces them quickly and effortlessly."

“This team has always delivered on time or early. The parts we received were almost 100% true to design, The superb quality and finish allowed us to show these parts as more than just prototypes. Also, the communication I received from the 3D Systems team was top notch!”
