For patients with chronic illnesses, a primary goal is to create the best possible quality of life for living with a disease. During diagnosis or clinical trials , recording data from patients is often done over a too short a period of time for a proper clinical conclusion.

Studies estimate the annual number of deaths due to medical errors in the hundreds of thousands, so there is great incentive 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. 

From day one, the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, the Open Innovation Laboratory and accelerator program of Dassault Systèmes, has accelerated projects that strongly impact our society in a positive way. The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab virtual museum gathers in one place all the projects we support, like Gyrolift or Leonardo Da Vinci’s machines, as well as other innovations.

While farming today requires a large investment in machinery, it generates relatively low revenue –; and accommodating ecology demands asks farmers to invest more time and take more risk. Using robotics could help farmers with low value-added, time-consuming work, reducing costs and helping mitigate risk.

Earth is warming up, natural disasters are more frequent, and citizens of the world are slowly but steadily inching towards investing in the well-being of their future generations to come. The share of renewable energy of total energy consumption has increased from 16.6% in 2010 to 17.5% in 2016.

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?

Our daily usage of connected objects, smartphones and other devices requires more and more energy. Some studies show that there will be 41.6 billion connected IoT devices, or "things," in 2025.. The scale factor makes everyday a new challenge for the network to provide this overload of energy.

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? 

Laurent Bernadac is an INSA Toulouse engineer, and a virtuoso musician as well (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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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:         

The race is on to innovate to develop new sources of energy in order to help fight climate change. Marine energies are emerging as a credible means for electricity generation from non-carbon sources. With its expansive coastlines, France, has very high marine energy production potential, and thus has the opportunity to  race ahead in this sector. 

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?

Designers, engineers and manufacturers can play a critical role in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, there are many initiatives around the globe, but there is little coordination among teams. Dassault Systèmes proposes leveraging collective intelligence to source, qualify, design, engineer and manufacture rapid solutions during the pandemic.

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.

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.

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.

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.
