D2M Solutions Ltd., a leading supplier of advanced design, visualization and rapid manufacturing technologies to both the educational and industrial sectors of the Middle East, is exhibiting at BETT, stand B35. The company offers educational technology tools that help students of high school level through to advanced university studies understand more about new product development, visualize their designs, rapidly create cost effective prototype models and assemblies, and test form fit and function.

D2M Solutions specializes in supplying a comprehensive solution for Engineering Centres of Excellence within Universities that comprises a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) product development web-based collaborative platform and a full complement of design through to manufacturing technologies: 3D printing, Reverse Engineering & Quality Control with 3D Laser Scanners, and latest Direct Digital Manufacturing solutions with Stratasys Fortus 3D Production Systems. With a complete Centre of Excellence solution, Universities can collaborate with local or international partners for advanced R & D projects and the rapid product development technologies encourage innovative thinking through the ability to create digital or virtual products and then test them with prototype models in-house. Stratasys 3D production systems can produce durable end-user parts and assemblies and can even create customized fabrication and assembly tools that would prove difficult to produce with traditional fabrication methods.

D2M spokesman, Alex Papantoniou remarked "In addition to the Centres of Excellence for Universities, our company has great educational tools to be used in high schools for design and technology, multimedia and art studies. Its important that younger students are given real technologies to use at an early stage, because it broadens their perspectives on the science and technology fields and undoubtedly encourages larger numbers of students to view the sciences as a serious career choice. When students use CAD design tools, capture object geometry in 3D with laser scanners and finally 'print' out their design with the 3D printer from their CAD data, it tells them much more about the whole process of creating new products and gets young minds excited with creative design ideas. These educational tools literally bring students designs to life and can be used for student design challenges and as an integral part of the curriculum."

D2M Solutions will be showcasing technologies from leading suppliers such as Dassault Systemes, (Catia PLM, Catia for Design and 3Dvia), in collaboration with UAE Authorized Dassault Systemes, VAR, Abu Dhabi based DASBAT. The company will also show Dimension 3D Printers, Creaform's hand-held 3D laser Scanners and Fortus 3D Production Systems from Stratasys.
