If you've been following GoEngineer's partnership with Bright Laser Technologies, you already know what BLT's machines can print: the titanium hinge inside OPPO's Find N5 foldable phone, the metal O-rings BLT produces under an Airbus A320 production contract, the record-setting BYD Yangwang U9X, whose chassis relies on BLT printers for a structure that's both lighter and stiffer than conventional casting could produce. These aren't prototypes. They're production parts, used at scale, today. And behind it all is Dr. Xue Lei (“Leo”), Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Bright Laser Technologies.
In the automotive industry, tight timelines and high throughput are ever-present facts of life. Nowhere is this truer than Tesla's Gigafactory Nevada facility, where a small team of technicians is responsible for delivering thousands of fast-turn SLS parts each week. Here's how Tesla leverages the Formlabs Fuse X1 to churn out production parts on time, every time.
If you've attended any major trade show in the past year, you likely heard a lot of AI promises. From generative toolpaths to autonomous one-click programming, the marketing suggests that the software is finally ready to take over the driver's seat. We are already seeing AI do great work in nesting, predictive maintenance, and quoting. But when it comes to the core of your business, the actual G-code that runs your $250,000 spindle, there is a massive difference between AI buzzwords and practical intelligence.
Legacy Windchill license renewals will end after September 30, 2026.

Here's what you need to understand about your options, the risks of waiting, and how to approach this transition with confidence.
In modern education, the makerspace has evolved from a luxury to a critical component of the engineering and technical curriculum. A well-designed makerspace provides students with the tactile experience necessary to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and real-world application. However, building the perfect lab is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. It requires a strategic alignment of hardware, software, and support that scales with the institution's goals and the complexity of the curriculum.
The reality of modern industry is stark. Leading companies do not leverage personal desktop systems on their production floors. Employers in high-value sectors like aerospace, defense, and automotive aren’t just looking for graduates who can print plastic trinkets; they are hunting for candidates who understand material performance data, process controls, and quality systems.
