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!

Reconstructing a Fountain Pen

Gifts often hold great sentimental value—so great, in fact, that it is hard to believe such a small chip can make such a huge dent in function. At least, that was the case when a customer had a beloved fountain pen that no longer wrote. Check out this story of how they used VGSTUDIO MAX to segment, measure, and reconstruct parts of the pen!

Power to the PAPR: Reverse Engineering in the Pandemic

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.
