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), first identified in December 2019, triggered a 
global scramble for healthcare equipment. Within months, outbreaks in Italy, Latin America, 
and the U.S. spread rapidly, and by April 2020, the world had changed—hospitals 
everywhere were running out of time and supplies.
