“The challenge was a fantastic way to broaden our exposure to potential new players and new technologies,” says Wayne Spence, chief manufacturing engineer at GE Aviation. “Only two of the organizations that participated were previously known to us, and it’s inspiring—and eye-opening—to see such a broad variety of submissions from around the globe.”

Capture 3D used its ATOS Triple Scan III noncontact blue light 3D scanner, capable of measuring up to 8 million points per scan, to complete the challenge. “We were excited to have the opportunity to participate,” says Capture 3D sales engineer Marc Demarest. “Innovation advances a current state. By innovating and sharing that knowledge, we are pushing each other to continually thrive for progression, improvement, and optimization.”
