What do space shuttle safety measures and modern shoemaking have in common?
Both use a 3-D design and engineering technology that streamlines a wide range of inspection and manufacturing processes.
"Once you digitize something, you can do a lot of manipulation, storing, editing and information sharing. We have already seen it in music, we have seen it in publishing, and what Geomagic is doing is taking it to the next level," said Ping Fu, CEO of Geomagic.
The Research Triangle Park, N.C., company is the industry leader in the technology called digital shape sampling and processing, or DSSP. It starts with scanning an object--from a race car to a human body--with optical beams. A camera inside the scanner transmits millions-up-to-a-billion points to a computer.
