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

“By using 3D design and 3D printing (the AWPC) was able to get a scale model of a windmill that isn’t available anywhere else. This is a windmill that was being used over 30 years ago. Scale models of it simply aren’t available anywhere, it had to be created from …

"We read the application note, tried it for ourselves and it worked. We're now using 3D printed parts as mounts for servo motors and as a pod for our passive sonar 'hydrophones,' which help Poseidon navigate."

“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, …

“On the one hand you can learn and use the program real quick, on the other hand, the program offers great flexibility in quickly creating different versions of models.”

“A further advantage of FreeForm lies in the higher precision of working directly on a digital model from day one of the design processes. All the imprecise details which had previously occurred when hand models are digitized and milled are no longer a concern.”

“I needed to work digitally because there’s so much work to be done and it makes the job much more efficient, But the solutions I experimented with didn’t give the best results.”

“Students were deeply impressed with the 3DXpert and Geomagic software capabilities and having a solution that incorporates all aspects of AM such as reverse engineering, modeling, design, preparation, optimization, and manufacturing control under the same roof.”

“Selecting the tools for the lab course was a real challenge. On the one hand, we want them to experience the most professional software tools that they will encounter at their workplace and will give them good hands-on experience. On the other hand, the tools must be relatively easy to …

“By using a color 3D printer we were not only able to push facial performance to new levels, but we were also able to achieve a level of detail and subtlety in characters’ faces that a few short years ago would have seemed impossible.”

"I can make hypothetical iterations that could improve the design. If I don’t like them, I just go back. Try that with clay!”

“Freeform is the first thing I’ve seen that can model anatomical figures so well.”

“The covers are sent back and we use them again in later cleanings and shipments, so these are good for repeat uses and are incredibly effective at ensuring the quality of our shipments.”

“The benefits of shifting over our entire design and production to Cimatron were obvious."

“Because of the speed of processing and the rapid output of Geomagic Qualify, we can verify if an assembly is hitting the right tolerances within an hour.”
