– We are proud to have such prominent guests and to tell the success stories we have with both Swedish and international industry. Many of the visitors have an extensive background in Swedish industry so it was particularly interesting to discuss how visual and interactive simulation can vitalize the industry and also that simulation itself also is a rapidly growing industry. There was also much interest in 3D-printing and our modeling-simulation-digital manufacturing paradigm, said Kenneth Bodin, CEO of Algoryx Simulation.
