Are we alone in the universe?

This question has been pondered upon by humans for thousands of years. But are we any closer to finding the answer?
 
For OHB’s space missions that aim to answer one of humanity’s biggest questions—are we alone in the Universe?—precision and reliability are non‑negotiable. VG software plays a crucial role in ensuring that the instruments sent to explore distant worlds are flawless at a microscopic level.

Using advanced CT analysis, VG enables OHB engineers to inspect internal structures without disassembly, detect hidden defects, and validate delicate mechanisms that will search for signs of life on other planets. From solder joints to complex assemblies, VG ensures every component can survive launch, operate in extreme environments, and deliver trustworthy scientific data.

By combining OHB’s mission expertise with VG’s deep‑insight inspection capabilities, this collaboration helps secure the integrity of spacecraft designed to explore exoplanets, analyze planetary surfaces, and push us closer to answering the profound question of whether life exists beyond Earth.

Additive Manufacturing 
Meets Medical Implants

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!

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!
