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

“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, …

“We moved to GibbsCAM because it was easy to learn, and more intuitive to someone who hasn’t run a CAM system before. That makes a huge difference to us.”

"Prior to the ARTHRO Mentor, we were unable to assess whether or not the residents were ready to perform arthroscopy other than in the operating room. Now, we have a very good idea of what they are capable of and I feel much more comfortable allowing them to participate in …

"Using a combination of FreeForm and rapid prototyping enables us to design and physically produce a high-quality model which as a result, greatly speeds the approval process."

“3D Sprint is intuitive and easy to use. I was able to figure it out before anyone even had time to show me, and we were able to train our intern on it in no time at all.”

“Hands-down this machine makes parts that are orders of magnitudes better than anything else on the market. The extreme resolution of the 3D prints allows us to manufacture production-quality lenses that demonstrate product performance to our customers before tooling the parts. Numerous customers have accepted a product very quickly after …

“Cimatron is a one-stop-shop for us that does our mold design, electrode design, and integrates seamlessly with our NC.”

“The work got easier in Cimatron because you would realize gains quickly using features like NC templates and auto drill. Automating some of the monotonous tasks makes your life easier from an NC programming standpoint. Cimatron is always working on reducing the button clicks.”

“One of the huge advantages that Cimatron offers is how easily we can accommodate part changes. Based on having that versatility and flexibility, we're saving 15–20% on an overall project that includes tool design and product development.”

“I just took the IGES model, pulled it right into Catia and machined the mold. With this process, it only took 12 minutes to make a surfboard.”

"Our philosophy behind our exhibits is to make real science approachable through hands-on, engaging exhibits From an educational point of view, we knew that the concept of functional pathways needed to be an important aspect of brain science that was addressed in the exhibit, and diffusion tensor imaging gets to …

"Everyone told us it was way too complex to handle on a 3D printer. We were surprised because everything we knew about 3D printing said that it was good with complex shapes."

"Architects just can't collaborate around a napkin or computer file the same way they can around a physical model. Architects need to literally walk around a design, get their hands on it and maybe mark it up with a pen. This process is as vital as presenting to the client …

“I was looking for a way to produce more anatomy prosections and maybe plastinate them, but realized it would take decades and more than a half-million dollars to set up a plastination lab. Each specimen would have to be dissected and prepared and then I would have one of that …
