3D NexGen is an independent research platform dedicated to the science and engineering of next generation three dimensional technologies — from additive manufacturing and 3D metrology to digital twins of real world structures.
Our mission
We believe that the design, fabrication and inspection of physical structures is moving from a two dimensional, drawing based practice to a fully three dimensional and data driven one. Our mission is to document that transition, publish reliable technical material, and give researchers and engineers a common place to exchange results.
What we do
The platform brings together three kinds of work: original research notes written by our contributors, curated reviews of published literature, and practical engineering material such as test procedures, tolerance data and measurement methods. Everything published here is reviewed by at least one engineer before it goes online.
Who it is for
Researchers, structural and mechanical engineers, graduate students, laboratory staff and industry professionals working on additive manufacturing, reverse engineering, geometric inspection or simulation. If your work touches three dimensional data, this platform is meant for you.
