By Calvin Hur, VP and General Manager of 3D Systems, Geomagic Solutions
3D Systems has integrated the combined power of Geomagic, Rapidform, Alibre and Sensable into Geomagic Solutions, which I believe will be at the vanguard of 3D authoring and is already one of the most creative, innovative and passionate groups around. This group is reinventing the engineer’s desktop. And I am honored to be a part of it.

We have been talking a lot about Weatherstone Elementary recently, but there’s something about the teachers’ and students’ enthusiasm about 3D that is difficult to ignore. Last weekend, 3D Systems Geomagic attended a STEM Expo at the school in Cary, N.C., not just with our usual repertoire of 3D toys and gadgets but this time with the Cube Car.
What do you get when you pack a room with the world’s technology leaders, forward thinkers, innovators, explorers, tinkerers and visionaries, and give them a small taste of how far 3D can take them?
You get a singularity: a point at which function takes an infinite value, a point at which ideas run riot like bouncing balls.
That’s pretty cool. We need ideas and agents of change to convert those ideas into disruptive, humanity-benefiting actions.

I just finished reading “Makers: The New Industrial Revolution” by Chris Anderson.
In “Makers” Anderson outlines the progression from the current digital economy to a transformed state that he sees on the horizon, the New Industrial Revolution. In this progression a society that, in the prior decade, focused on discovering new ways to collaborate, innovate and work together as part of dispersed teams will become one where those lessons will be applied to the real world.
Rapid 2012 – a major US annual gathering of people, designers, companies, and providers in the 3D rapid prototyping markets – kicks off today in Atlanta, GA. The event demonstrates the growing trend of how artists and creators are utilizing 3D technologies for their expression, while highlighting leaders in manufacturing who are changing our world using 3D. As an event which, successfully, mingles art with science, the diverse groups of people attending treat it as a unique opportunity to learn from each other.
