Last night's BGGD19 was impressive; the venue was the offices of Materialise, best known for its activities in the field of rapid industrial and medical prototyping. Materialise has acquired the position of market leader for 3D printing and Digital CAD software in addition to being a major player in medical and dental image processing and surgery simulation. Last night however, focus was on the MGX division for design products. Cool stuff! And unbelievable how it's produced, with one machine creating an object in one long session (depending on the object: from a couple of hours to a couple of days), layer by layer, no assembly or waste or long production lines needed . Very impressive. Check them out or keep track of what they are doing, it's worth it.
Key note speaker Dominique D'heedene enlightened the BGG's with a presentation of DesignArenas, an e-tailer specializing in bringing hotel luxury and lifestyle at home. DesignArenas partners with luxury and design hotels, build collections of interior design articles used in the partner hotels and builds a compelling visual experience through the webshop. The interesting thing is that she has her own collection Arenas as well. And some of us will know her as an IT Architect with IBM. Fascinating combination of jobs!
