APPLE TREE and Geomagic to Hold Practical Seminar on 3D Scanning, Design, 3D Printing, and Inspection on June 5, 2026

APPLE TREE Co., Ltd., based in Osaka and led by President Park Su-myeong, will co-host a seminar with Geomagic on Friday, June 5, 2026, where participants can experience the full workflow from 3D scanning and design to 3D printing and inspection. The seminar is titled “Even without drawings, this is how far you can go by matching the shape of the actual object: Practical Seminar on 3D Scanning, Design Based on Real-Object Geometry, 3D Printing, and 3D Inspection.” It will introduce a new real-object-driven approach to manufacturing through hands-on demonstrations using actual equipment. In recent years, manufacturing sites have increasingly faced cases where there are no drawings and only the physical object exists, particularly in reproducing existing parts, modifying equipment, and developing prototypes. In response, attention has grown around digitizing real objects with 3D scanners and building design, manufacturing, and inspection processes from that data. However, many companies hesitate to move forward with adoption because they are unsure how the technology can be used in their own operations or cannot clearly picture post-installation workflows. To address these issues, the seminar will introduce the latest models, mainly handheld 3D scanners, and provide live demonstrations with actual devices. It will also cover practical workflows including design methods using acquired 3D data, fabrication through 3D printing, and inspection processes using Geomagic software. The goal is to help participants leave with a concrete understanding of how 3D scanning technology can improve operational efficiency and quality. The seminar is intended for people in manufacturing who are responsible for design, development, quality control, or production; those considering the introduction of 3D scanners; and those facing challenges in designing or manufacturing from physical objects without drawings. Main topics include product introductions for high-precision 3D scanners, live equipment demonstrations, explanations of design methods using 3D scan data, an introduction to the 3D printing fabrication process, a 3D inspection demonstration using Geomagic, and individual consultations. The event will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 5, 2026, with reception starting at 1:30 p.m. The venue is Hall 5A at TKP Nagoya Ekimae Conference Center, located on the 5th floor of CK20 Meiekimae Building, 2-41-5 Meieki, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 450-0002. Capacity is limited to 80 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Participation is free, with advance registration required. APPLE TREE Co., Ltd. was established in October 2012.
