2. Yamato Factory Tour and Hands-On Experience with SOLIZE Technology
We invited the guests to tour Yamato Factory, where we explained the features of stereolithography and powder-based 3D printers and the materials they use. They also handled 3D-printed parts while learning about their textures and applications. They showed particular interest in the speed of the printing process, the ability to produce complex geometries as a single piece, and the use of 3D-printed parts in engine testing.
We also gave them a hands-on demonstration of SOLIZE technology by scanning their heads in 3D, printing the models on-site, and letting them keep the finished pieces as gifts. They were amazed that models of their own heads could be completed in about 30 minutes.
