The mission of the St. Cloud State University Visualization Lab in Minnesota is to develop visualization, experiential, and multimedia solutions to the complex needs of the University community. Learn how the Artec 3D scanners turn the lab’s dream of visualizing a collection of skulls from the university museum into reality with an interactive skull museum.
Building parametric CAD models can be a complicated process, but it doesn’t have to be.
XTract3D is a toolbar that works natively inside SOLIDWORKS, giving you access to powerful slicing, fitting, and snapping tools for reverse engineering. Trace right on top of 2D cross sections of 3D scan data to create parametric CAD models with ease. XTract3D gives you a basic toolset to solve a wide range of reverse engineering applications—from basic to complex parts, and prismatic to organic surfaces. Learn how XTract3D makes scan-to-CAD a straightforward process.
Airwolf AXIOM 3D Printer was named the TOP 3D printer by Top 10 Reviews, ranking number 1 in 3D printers in its class. It’s an amazing printer for rapid prototyping and 3D printing in the classroom.
“This large 3D printer has the best software, best connection options, best filament choices and pretty much the best everything else.”

The AMUG Conference brings together engineers, designers, managers, and educators to share expertise, best practices, challenges, and application developments in additive manufacturing. Our team will be participating in the 3D Scanning Workshop on March 19 at 5pm to demonstrate how 3D scanning technology plays a crucial role in the additive manufacturing process. We’ll also be participating at the AMUG expo booth 65 where we will give live demonstrations of the HDI and Artec 3D scanners. Hope to see you there!
Conference: March 19-23, 2017
Expo: March 19-20, 2017
Location: Hilton Chicago
