Sinterklaas Meetup: let it snow, let it snow, let it snow,…
Although the weather conditions weren’t very good because of the snow, we were very happy to see that much designers at our Meetup!
CURIOUS
We had a real winter meetup this time. It was snowing the whole morning and temperatures were very low. Despite the bad travel conditions, a lot of people showed up to see some i.materialise 3D printing magic.
We called it the ‘Sinterklaas Meetup’ since the previous day, the 6th of December, all the Belgians were celebrating the arrival of Sinterklaas who delivers candy and toys to all the good children during the night. So we offered everyone some special Sinterklaas candy like chocolate figures.
HAPPY
To make the people feel comfortable we showed some 3D printing videos on the wall and introduced ourselves to everyone. The room was filled with designers & 3D print interested people. We started off with a presentation about our online service and proceeded to the material tables so people could see and feel the widest range of materials. “What kind of technology do you use for titanium” and “what materials can we expect from you in the future” were some of the questions our support engineers were happy to answer.
Mammoth Printers: people are always amazed to see the 3D printers live.
Name badges: we're ready for the crowd!
People started socializing more and more and were happy to see all the machines and the production area: from the Mammoth machines (largest 3D printers) to the Objet printers…people were glad to finally see the + 70 printers we use inhouse.
‘Belgian beer!’ Yes, we ended the afternoon with some more Belgian goodies for our guests. And what else can we offer to drink when you’re in the Belgian capital of beer?
