Industrial-grade solutions including the company's best selling ProJet 3510 3D printer will be on display, showing high quality plastic parts and investment casting patterns for functional testing and direct part manufacturing. Users can interact with the company's powerful Geomagic Solutions engineering software, 3D scanning, and inspection tools, and experience the seamless content-to-print workflow 3D Systems provides.
