Capture 3D User Group Meeting for 3D Scanning Professionals
May 7-8, 2008
Radisson Newport Beach Hotel
4545 MacArthur Blvd.
Newport Beach, CA 92660

We cordially invite you to our 2008 User Group Meeting which will be held May 7-8th at the Radisson Hotel, Newport Beach, CA. We at Capture 3D believe it is important to provide our customers with a forum where they can share and acquire best practice techniques, ideas, and investigate new application processes to maximize their ATOS and TRITOP investment. With customer driven enhancements to the system's hardware and software, a large addition to our customer base, and the positivie feedback from the 2006 User Group Meeting (over 130 attendees), we believe that now is the time to host our third user group meeting.

The objectives are:

  • Learn how others are using the ATOS/TRITOP solutions for various applications.
  • Learn more efficient ways to use the system for your applications.
  • Learn more about downstream applications and other ways of using data from ATOS/TRITOP.
  • Provide feedback to Capture 3D, Inc. and GOM on desired functionality and other areas of importance to you.
  • Get technical advice/support from Capture 3D, GOM, and other users.
  • See what's new and what's coming (V6.1 software release, GD&T, touch probe, automation, etc...).
  • Network with people in and out of your industry who share similar responsibilities.
  • View and discuss the new ATOS and TRITOP software release.
  • Participate in our dedicated demonstration salon (ATOS configurations, TRITOP CMM, touch probe, motion control and robotic solutions).
  • Speak with “Best in class” complimentary software solution providers (2006 participants- Trillion, 3D Infotech, GoEngineer, Tebis, Bunkspeed, InnovMetric, Geomagic, and RapidForm).

2006 speakers included:
Penske Technology, Alcoa Howmet Castings, Pridgeon & Clay, Honeywell Turbo Technologies, Advanced Simulation Technology, Sony, Cessna, Realadi, Scansite, Pratt & Whitney, Sammer Technologies, and Trillion.

2004 speakers included:
The Boeing Company, Triumph Engineering, Geomagic, Walt Disney Imagineering, Ford Motor Company, NASA Ames, Los Alamos National Labs, Viewpoint, Roush, Tebis, Bunkspeed, and Innovmetrics.

We encourage you to please register early. As in the past, there is no fee for the conference, meals, and Capture 3D sponsored event; however, we do ask that you book through our contracted rate of $144/night at the Radisson Hotel. For those who arrive Tuesday, May 6th an evening cocktail reception will be held at a nearby sports grill and bar. The harbor dinner boat cruise will be Wednesday, May 7th after conference day one.
