Road to the Golden Surface

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!

A Test of Strength: 
A Look into Metal Printing

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!
