3D Printing Now Plays a Major Role in Dassault Systèmes’ 3D Experience 3D Printing Events

by Design

Taking place in different locations throughout the world (including China for manufacturing and Massachussets for Science), Dassault Systèmes’ 3D Experience series of events represents the state of the art of what 3D software can do today for designers, engineers, architects, doctors and anyone who need to run a highly efficient manufacturing operation. The “Design in the Age of Experience” 2017 two-day conference in Milan focused on everything that 3D technologies (including 3D software, VR and AR) can do for innovating shapes and products. Now, more than ever before, however, 3D printing is becoming a main focus of the creative workflow.
