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

“We needed to come up with a way to build shapes quickly for our customers. We studied the alternatives and made a decision to purchase the 3D Systems machine. Since then, we’ve printed hundreds of parts out of that machine to use in our machines.”

"The parts we received form Realize gave us an instrument so close to the real thing, customers thought they were already in production."

“Other options we explored felt kind of like an alpha or beta product that wasn’t quite tested."

“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, …

"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 …

“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.”

“A lot of people look at Figure 4 technology and other plastic 3D printing as strictly a prototyping tool, but Figure 4 Standalone has been a great tool in helping customers avoid the tooling costs for their low-volume production needs.”

"3D Systems’ technology transfer and consulting approach has enabled us to support our customers with their design and engineering challenges. We can better help our customers scale their ideas down to keep them printable and bring the benefits of additive manufacturing to their application."

"It cleans and aligns the textures perfectly for 3D printing. For a researcher, it's important that the textures are in the right place or it's not worth doing it. This is also a very precise and unique way of measuring objects. It's something archeologists have always tried to do but …

"Cimatron offers the best performance in Z direction control, which gives us finer, free control of the cutter path. The advanced high-precision machining capabilities we have gained with Cimatron open great potential for us to produce a greater variety of parts."

“I could do it within four days, easily, but we always have to factor in Florida storms, power outages and such, so we have to set expectations, Previously, even with a digital workflow and older 3D printers, the turn-around time was 15 working days, easily. So this is a huge …

"It looks phenomenally bright and sharp and the 3D works really well."

"Speed is the key. I can take an order for a model today and drop it off with the customer tomorrow. Cost is another key. I can make that model for one fourth the cost of other technologies. Clients love the models. The turnaround is fabulous, the price is great, …

“As a designer, handling and inspecting the full- or scaled dimensions of a part or product often inspires insight into what changes are necessary. It’s amazing how influential a 3D part can be in helping you make a decision on something.”
