Everyone is invited
It's back-to-school season, and the invitation is open to everyone. This technology moves quickly. Printers that were prototyping tools a few years ago are running end-use production today, scanners keep getting faster and easier to put in an operator's hands, and measurement systems are taking on more of the inspection work that used to happen by hand.
Keeping up from a spec sheet is difficult. So spend an afternoon at our expanded Silicon Valley facility with the equipment and the people who work with it every day. Ask the questions you would not ask on a sales call. Bring a part that has given you trouble. Whether you have run a shop for years or you are just getting started, you will leave knowing something you did not walk in with.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
How current 3D printers compare on accuracy, surface finish, materials, and speed, and where each one fits.
When a resin printer like the Formlabs Form 4 is the right tool, and when a filament printer will do.
How 3D scanners turn physical parts into digital models for design, inspection, and reverse engineering.
How OGP video and multisensor measurement systems inspect real parts, with a guided tour of our measurement lab.
What it takes to bring any of this in-house, from training to support.
