Our Stories

No two deviations are created equal. As much as we strive for an ideal form, each part is produced with manufacturing imperfections that cause it to deviate from its nominal shape. As such, we often end up with a slew of parts, each with its own deviations. In some cases, such as reverse engineering and mesh compensation, we need to choose one to work with. The question is, how do we decide? Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to average them out and find the golden surface! 

It's time for the Winter Olympics! And what better way for us to celebrate at Volume Graphics than with a bit of sports and 3D scanning? Join CEITEC, Vagus, and One3D as they work together to design the perfect helmet for Olympic skeleton racer, Anna Fernstädtová!

3D printing is all the rage, and with good reason! It allows for the rapid prototyping and printing of more complex designs in a highly sustainable and flexible way compared to conventional manufacturing processes. But even in the world of additive manufacturing, there are endless possibilities. Where does one even begin? Join Fraunhofer IWS as they use VGSTUDIO MAX to evaluate the quality of different 3D printing technologies and materials!

We at VG Stories would like to wish you a safe, happy, and colorful Easter. But before you go, let's paint a virtual Easter egg! Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to create and export colorful meshes for 3D printing!

Conventional, off-the-shelf implants have made it easier for medical professionals to treat the most common patient needs quickly and efficiently. However, modern imaging—combined with additive manufacturing technology—has made it possible to design patient-specific implants to better fit individual needs in more complex cases. Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to examine these customized implants!

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was first identified in December 2019, tipped the first domino in the global scramble to secure healthcare equipment and prevent casualties. A few months later, effects of the pandemic had cascaded: outbreaks in Italy, Latin America, and the United States buckled down and spread outwards, and by April 2020, the entire world had visibly changed. The virus had spiraled out of control, and hospitals all around the world were running out of time—and equipment.

When additive manufacturing meets generative design. Check out how UPBracing, the FormulaStudent team from Paderborn University, used MSC and Volume Graphics software to revamp a wheel carrier and design a more dynamic and lightweight racing car!
