Rapid Reality

Met de allernieuwste maaktechnologie en ontwerpsoftware is het mogelijk een ontwerp binnen een dag of zo om te zetten in een functioneel product of prototype. Syntens heeft een aantal van dit soort bedrijven en machines bij elkaar gezet tijdens de Dutch Design Week. De bedrijven zijn te bezoeken in Hal 3 van het Klokgebouw op Strijp-S. Maak kennis met ondernemers die concepten kunnen omzetten in producten:

• Amitek (met 3D scanning en custom made computermuizen)
• RP2 (met Objet 3D printing voorwerpen)
• Somatech (met FDM printer)
• Formit (met kleinserie behuizingen)
• Delft Spline Systems (desktop freesmachines)
• Metaalwarenfabriek Phoenix  (rubberpersen metaalplaat)
• Trotec Laser (lasersnijmachine)

Exhibition 21_21 Design Sight Tokyo: Second Nature

The exhibition Second Nature offers an opportunity to once again ponder the future of design as well as the mysterious powers of nature which transcend the limits of human imagination. Tokujin Yoshioka, the director of the exhibition, has attempted to incorporate in his own design work the many laws that exist in nature, while at the same time exploring the possibilities of technology. His works do not merely remind people of the natural world on a visual level or imitate the more apparent manifestations of the laws of nature. Rather, by using technology as well as his own ideas as a kind of sustenance, he creates new forms of nature, in a process that results in what might best be described as a second nature. Rooted in this mindset, this exhibition presents the experimental works of eight groups of creators, including Tokujin Yoshioka himself. The exhibition also presents a cloud-like installation that envelop the exhibit space.

Wirtotechnologia fair Poland

We have the pleasure of informing you that the 1st Wirtotechnologia fair, which is dedicated to all aspects of Rapid Prototyping and IT technologies designed for industry will be held on 21-23 October 2008 in the city of Sosnowiec in 

Poland. 
 
In view of production preparation processes increasingly entering the virtual world, we decided to organize a fair event dedicated to the virtualization of technological processes, with its practical and academic aspects. Computer aided design, rapid prototyping, which reduces the time necessary for launching new products onto the market, as well as computer aided production and corporate resources management are prerequisites for the functioning of a modern company of the 21st century. 





Exhibitors of the Wirtotechnologia fair will have an opportunity to use a new exhibition facility in the south of Poland. Located in the city of Sosnowiec, the Centre Expo Silesia meets all European requirements, in addition to being easily accessible and excellently equipped. These strength of this facility will be appreciated by both exhibitors and customers. More
