In 2017, the market of professional drones is projected to increase to 3,7 billion of euros (Gartner source). Services associated to drones grow up and the autonomy of the machines is optimized. From design offices to operating departments, what are the appropriate devices for collecting data? 

According to the World Health Organization, 75 million of people need a wheelchairs in the world. But the common wheelchair is an obsolete technology. Many situations, both professional and personal, call for an adapted system:         

Many of the children, due to their conditions, have a short life expectancy. So everyday for their families is a precious reminder of the importance of their time together. That is why being able to provide an epic costume for a special day is so critical. It is an honor to be part of this build community.

FEops offers the first and only patient-specific simulation technology for structural heart interventions, surpassing basic anatomical measurement by accurately predicting how devices will interact with each unique patient.

Skin cancer is the most common and fastest growing form of cancer in the world. The main risk factors for developing skin cancer include exposure to UV radiation, age, sex, ethnicity, occupation, and family history of skin cancer.

Long term recordings of patients is often difficult due to complexity of measurement, hospitalization cost, burden for patients or lack of availability of specialized Doctors. Yet, these long term recordings are critical for an accurate diagnosis and care plan setting, in many pathologies such as Epilepsy, Cardiovascular disease and Sleep disorders.  

Persons with disabilities have physical difficulties to practice a sport. That’s a fact. But at Splashelec, we began to wonder if technology could change that. So we decide to use mecatronics to build a control system which will allow disabled people to easily pilot a sailboat. After some R&D, we came back with a joystick servo system which take control of the rudder and the sails.

The satellite market has been disrupted by the miniaturization of the technology. Lots of small satellites have been created and they aim to provide data for Earth observation, surveillance, telecommunications, smart cities, connectivity, meteorology, emergency responses, ...

The Living Heart Project aims to advance the development of safe and effective cardiovascular products and treatments by uniting engineering, scientific, and biomedical expertise to translate cutting-edge science into improved patient care. Through simulation and the creation of validated models, the project aims to provide personalized, interventional patient care.

Inaccurate medications kill 5 times more than road accidents in developed countries. Jus in France, they cost 10 billion euros to the public health system. Around the globe, consolidated numbers are not easily accessible but we estimate that inaccurate medications cause at least 1 million deaths and cost 1000 billion dollars to public health systems every year.

Urbanisation, Digital Transformation, Climate Change are the key challenges now. On Transportation and Mobility, the current paradigm is : one size fits for all. At XYT, we do not sell cars, we deliver tailored mobility solutions for our clients’ business operations, to maximize value creation in a better future.

With studies estimating the annual number of deaths due to medical errors in the hundreds of thousands, the time has come to revise the way the medical profession gains knowledge and experience. Advances in 3D printing technology and virtual simulation are creating new opportunities to improve the quality of treatments and patient safety.

Have you been in a situation where a generic treatment did not work very well for you or someone you know? Have you ever had that nagging feeling that maybe the doctor (as good as he or she may be) should really be treating YOU rather than a generalized representation of you?

Marine energies are emerging, being a credible alternative to electricity generation from carbon sources.

In the US, 1 child in 68 is born with the Autism Spectrum Disorders. Children with Autism have learning and developmental disorders, and represent a number higher than all others disabilities put together. In the US alone, over 6.4% children have special needs in terms of cognitive, motor and sensory processing skills.

The construction industry needs a digital revolution. Even though it is the world´s biggest employer, the industry has been posting profitability losses for over three decades.

Laurent Bernadac is an INSA Toulouse engineer, and a virtuoso musician as well (Gold Medal  at the Conservatoire de Toulouse, Jazz Guitar & Violin Section). Laurent had a challenge: design an electric violin which wouldn't weigh more than a classic, wooden acoustic one. After several trials, he found the solution: a 3D Printed Violin. He named his concept 3DVarius.

An alternative to the drifts of the programmed obsolescence. L’increvable is the idea of changing the way we design and consume products. Let’s take the example of a product you can find in quite every house: the washing machine. A washing machine average cost is 350€. It decreased across time, but the repair cost of the washing machine increased by 125% the last 20 years.

Our daily usage of connected objects, smartphones and other watches requires more and more energy, some studies show that there will be more than 50 billions of connected objects in 2020. The scale factor makes everyday a new challenge for the network to provide this overload of energy.

Leonardo da Vinci, engineer. He is the father of inventions as modern as the plane, the helicopter, the submarine or the automobile. Made of wood in its time or even mostly sketched extremely detailed, these machines were then not often functional, but already demonstrated his genius.

Each musician aims to cultivate his art in order to be unique. Its aesthetic sound constitutes its identity.Is the answer to customize an instrument for each artist ? Can an instrument’s design influence its sound identity ?And can we industrialize custom-made instruments to make them accessible to every musician?

Behind all successful products lie brilliant ideas. But in today's age of experience, those brilliant ideas are no longer exclusive to domain experts. The users of those future experiences, any inhabitant of our planet, can imagine sustainable innovations. The actual challenge is to find the appropriate mean to empower anyone with creative solutions.

We can see all around us that world is changing fast and the entry barrier is reducing, machines are getting more affordable. Those were only for professionals are now more accessible to all with Cloud software. Our audience is then extending from professionals to amateurs, the world of makers (DIY). 

Aerospace companies are in the vortex of turbulent times.The speed and skill with which they adopt to the tumult will determine their fate. How can we help your aerospace company deliver more affordable products faster? How can you more efficiently integrate simulation and certification at every phase of a program to reduce costs and minimize risk?

DESIGN, MAKE, SHARE IN FABLABS: To make things, to better learn, repair or to prototype, people meet in our fabrication space. To empower these new communities of users, 3DS supports FabLab initiatives around the world and anticipated this movement by setting up its own 3 years ago on the Paris Campus.

Two 3D experiences, ultra realistic on a scientific point of view, were created through collaborative projects with technologic and scientific partners: "Staying Alive" and "Born To Be Alive".
"Staying Alive" is a serious game that allows to learn appropriate behaviors for first aid techniques.
