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

“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 …

“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.”

“The creation of mesh regions is an important tool for the 3D creation process. Since a flat surface would have a different color to a rounded edge, it makes it far easier to identify and edit similar, but different, surfaces.”

"The surface of the teeth is used as reference geometry for accurate modeling of our abutment. Surfacing the dental anatomy in Geomagic Wrap allows us to modify CAD models in context, thus accurately producing an abutment that fits into the patient's mouth with no further adjustments."

"It can be very time-consuming to fit an abutment For one thing, the mouth is a difficult place in which to work. And, depending on when the tooth was extracted or lost, there can be difficulties with the quality of bone in which to place the fixture. It can be …

“The only thing that matters about the bracket is its slot, It's specifically made to receive a customized wire that moves the patients' teeth to the middle of the jaw bone, based on the skeletal information from Anatomy. Each patient's jaw is shaped and sized differently, so wires are shaped …

“The ability to hold the life size 3D model enables me to better understand the structure of a fracture, plan an operation and try to understand what the future limitations of the fracture may be.”

“We see that repeating the procedure on the ANGIO Mentor makes trainees better when they are actually doing the procedure in the operating room. They immediately ask for the device, they know that they have to talk to the patient, explaining that he will have some iodine injection, ask him …

“We start using simulation regardless of the student’s level. All students perform simulation. Novice students begin by observing fellows and later help them to perform different procedures in order to become relatively autonomous with the simulator to perform basic tasks, such as intraluminal navigation or diagnostic arteriography.”

"What really struck us about 3D Systems' On Demand Manufacturing service was that we could upload our CAD data to their website and generate a price right there on-the-fly, So literally, in less than a minute, you’ve got a price back on how much it will cost whether you make …

“In our surface analyses, we aim to identify deviations from the target state in a fully-assembled section. Once everything has been captured with the laser scanner, we edit and analyze the point cloud with Geomagic Control X. The software makes the entire process much easier for us as it can …

“We have to be able to rely on our measurement results at all times. With 3D Systems, we have a reliable partner by our side who understands our needs and is constantly improving the inspection software. This enables us at MEYER WERFT to build amazing cruise ships, ferries, and research …

“This project represents the triumph of human creativity and technology. I am deeply grateful and thrilled.”

“Our customers have responded very well to these parts, and I think the time and cost savings enabled by this process contribute to that response. Taking a drawing and turning it into metal has traditionally been a drawn-out process. The immediate satisfaction of holding a physical part is awesome.”
