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! 

VGSTUDIO MAX has rolled out with a game-changing feature that has revamped how we work with distorted parts—adaptive measurement templates! With this feature, a measurement plan created from nominal CAD data (or imported with PMI) can be applied to even the most distorted parts. Join us as we walk you through this nifty new feature!

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!

A couple of weeks ago, we had a story that reconstructed the thread of a beloved fountain pen. That got us thinking: let's go into threads in depth—but this time, from the other side! Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to inspect a threaded insert and make sure everything is up to par!

Sometimes, to get to the core of a problem, all we need is a new set of eyes—and the possibility of perspective. Join us as we use the rotation and non-planar views of VGSTUDIO MAX to explore every nook and cranny of different objects!

Last week, we did a deep dive into the non-planar and rotation view of VGSTUDIO MAX. This week, we'll be exploring two more views: custom path and profile window. Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to gain even more perspective on… well, perspective!

Bookmarks in VGSTUDIO MAX—as in real life—work wonders as placeholders. They save our spots in the project while we shift and rotate objects and work on other analyses. As such, we often drop them somewhere and come back to them later, which easily makes them one of the most overlooked, underused features in the software.

Check out how you can use these hidden gems of visualization to showcase your project!

Sometimes, analyses leave you with thousands of results—a dream for the project, but a reader's nightmare! Check out how you can use rule-based annotations on VGSTUDIO MAX to leave your reports looking crisp and clean.

So many timeless pieces, just waiting to be restored to their former glory. With a few slick moves, we can find the diamond in the rough. Join us as we clean up our own classic pocket watch! Even better, this sample data set can be found in VGSTUDIO MAX—so fire up the software and try out these neat tricks!
