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

“In a clinical setting, some conditions are not experienced every day and can be life threatening. Comprehensive hands-on learning can save a life.”

“Microfluidics are a tricky thing, and fabrication has traditionally been done through slow, expensive, and labor intensive cleanroom processes."

“One year after the commercial launch, nearly 10,000 TTA RAPID devices have been implanted. We see huge potential for TTA RAPID to restore movement of many dogs suffering from cruciate ligament injuries. The success of TTA RAPID implants led to the development of similar implant types for other medical applications, …

“The beauty is that if I’m in a rush, I can get parts in a couple of days. You can’t beat that.”

“It’s unfortunate that people have had a product that’s such a major part of their lives that was so under-designed.”

"Unfortunately the material selection and manufacturing component has proved to be the challenging aspect of the project and being so close to the Olympics, we may not get this done in time for this Olympics. Never the less, we are confident that we are on the cusp of developing a …

“3D Systems is not only a supplier for Delfin but a real partner with whom we can co-design and manufacture to satisfy the needs of our main markets: food, chemical and pharma.”

“Through use of GibbsCAM solids machining and simulation, we have greatly reduced new process and tooling turn-around time with the ability to verify and simulate feasibility; improved accuracy by replacing drawings with solid models; increased shopfloor confidence; improved safety and quality; and greatly reduced programming, setup, and cycle times. For …

“I need assurance there will be no collisions at the machine, On the Niigata, I have a 39.4” diameter for part motion; it seems like a lot, but you add the special workholding, plates, and clamps on a big part, and you may have a problem changing tools.”

“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.”

“VSP planning sessions are invaluable to understanding the patient anatomy and details. The ability to consider different treatment alternatives during the planning is also immensely helpful. I was able to explore several options for this patient with the VSP engineer before choosing the one I felt was best to implement.”

“The ProJet MJP 3500 CPXMax (now available as the ProJet MJP 3600W Max) has a massive build volume, delivers extremely high-resolution prints throughout the build bed, and can print at a speed with which no other equivalent 3D printer can compete. We compete with mass production where every second counts, …

“3D Sprint is awesome. It’s much better than other nesting software I’ve used, and the process to get parts off the build plate is much improved over other printers as well. I haven’t broken a single model, and the Smart Supports pluck right off.”

“I knew that the front actuator played a major role in the 4-wheel drive system but didn’t realize how major until I started researching the mechanics of how the part actually worked within the system."
