If you had a laser that could scan 3-dimensional objects and create digital models of them on your computer, what would you do with it? I’d probably use it on myself first. Then I’d try it on all kinds of stuff that is lying around the house. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think that I’d ever get sick of such a toy. Unfortunately, these things don’t exist for consumers yet, but Research Triangle Park, NC based Geomagic has the technology to do this for inspection and manufacturing processes. Names like Ford, Harley-Davidson, Richard Childress Racing, Timberland, Fisher Price, Pratt & Whitney, NASA, Alcoa Howmet, Danaher and Invisalign use Geomagic’s technology to improve their products. Whether it’s for custom fitting dental products or repairing a NASA space shuttle, digitizing 3D objects opens up all kinds of opportunities.
It’s hard to get a handle for what exactly Geomagic does without actually seeing it in action. Luckily they have a video on their About page, which I’ve included below (subscribers can click through to view):
Geomagic is obviously a very technical company, so it’s no surprise that their jobs and internships are skewed more towards Engineering and Software Development. They only have one internship posted right now, and it’s for a QA Intern. There’s no word on whether it’s paid or not, but my guess is that it is because most of these types of internships are. You can find all of the details about the internship on Geomagic’s Careers page. You may also want to try applying for an unlisted internship (which they encourage on their website), if you think that you’d fit in well in a different function.
