10,000 strong 🎉 Thank you all for making this important milestone happen, for all the cool designs and tutorials you shared with us, and for being part of our journey. Here’s to you! 👏

With just two weeks to the show, #Formnext fever is well and truly here! 💫 Our team is excited to catch up with partners, customers, and 3D printing enthusiasts in person and learn what they've been working on over the last year. If you'd like to tell us about your #AM projects and see how our software can help solve challenges that have been holding you back, stop by booth E51, hall 11.1 and talk to our team. 👉 Learn about #3DXpert and #ManufacturingOS or book a meeting: https://lnkd.in/gWvhKQ8v #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing Formnext - Where ideas take shape Roy Sterenthal Jonas Baumeister Alessia Toscano Keno Kruse Hubert Kerschbaum Christian Kober Safouan Itahriouan Sridharan Hariharan Raffaella Scattino

Civil engineering and infrastructure represent some of the most complex, large-scale and expensive projects in 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲. We're talking about jobs like maintenance, repair or renovation of highways, railways, bridges, airports, ports, tunnels... 🚧 These undertakings pose a unique set of challenges in terms of operational complexity, scale of material, and on-site safety. 👷♀️ One way to deal with these challenges is by acquiring accurate information about sites and structures with #3Dscanning. 💡 Here are just a few ways that scanning is being used in civil & infrastructure projects: ✅ 𝐀𝐬-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 – to capture an accurate model of how a structure looks at a specific point in time to conduct safety inspections, assess wear and damage, and determine the best approach for repair or reinforcement. ✅ 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – to evaluate dozens or even hundreds of miles of paved roadway or rail line. ✅ 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 – to periodically keep tabs on the progress of a large infrastructure project. If you’re working in this field, have you ever tried using 3D scanning yourself? ******** For a detailed guide to the uses of 3D scanning in civil engineering & infrastructure, check out the blog that we've put together with experts from OR3D: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eRYW5Mzz #designX #controlX #geomagic

What if there were no limits to what you can create? If you could design anything – from toys to medical devices or prosthetics – in hours, not days? If 3D modeling was just as intuitive as sketching on paper or sculpting by hand? Unleash your creativity.

Learn the true meaning of innovation from Bruce Power, a Canadian power plant that developed a novel method for producing radiation shielding. ⚡ With a 3D scanner, 3D printer and Geomagic Design X they can create components from tungsten-infused filament that weigh less and fit better around radiation hotspots than the usual lead blankets. Best of all? It's an affordable solution that many facilities could adopt. Here's how they do it 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUVCMixq Thanks to our partner Canadian Additive Manufacturing Solutions for introducing the company to Geomagic Design X 👏

If you’re into space exploration technology, this is the webinar for you!

📢 Join us for a presentation with Faisal Iqbal of Baker Hughes to learn about our work on setting up the digital infrastructure required for the real-time transparency and traceability of the additive lifecycle process developed together with 3D Systems Corporation and NAMI. 🗓 Today at ASTM Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence’s #ICAM2024 at 1.30 pm. 🔗 Download the program here: https://lnkd.in/gmUCVdcH Andrew Holliday Sridharan Hariharan Roy Sterenthal

A failed print is a bitter pill to swallow if you’re working with expensive materials. The good news? 3D printing software now has tools that help reduce mistakes, ensure successful printing and minimize iterations. The secret lies in a simulation and compensation workflow that any engineer or operator could use. ✅ Learn about these tools and how they enable you to de-risk 3D printing on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eQrsCSxX #additivemanufacturing #simulationsoftware

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark known all over the world. Of course you’d want a personal souvenir of this iconic structure to display on your shelves. 🌉 This is exactly what Márcio Adamy had in mind when he 3D scanned, reverse-engineered and 3D printed a miniature replica of a nearby monument. Read about his approach, tools and workflow on our blog: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ehCx_WEt Print your memento using the mesh model that Marcio made available for free on Sketchfab.
