The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab UNIV+RSE opened its doors, showcased some of our most groundbreaking projects and disruptive startups from around the world, and its new FabLab.
MESHMERISE Paris was a fantastic networking opportunity for startups, investors, and industry leaders to reflect on how to achieve a more sustainable tomorrow.
The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab’s moto is If we look at the world with fresh eyes and the objectives for the event were to mix great and profound projects with great experiences: Be MESHMERISED by startups, demos, VR/AR experiences, machines & robots, Partners and their amazing technologies and be MESHMERISED by all the attendees to network and share experiences together.
But what does MESHMERISE mean?
This is a concept created by our colleagues from Munich – @FB, @AS and @SK for our Munich 3DEXPERIENCE Lab opening ceremony in 2022.
Because this concept illustrated well one pillar of our reasons to believe in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab :
Mesh : fit together, work in harmony
Mesmerise : fascinate, attract, hold attention
Rise : originate, come into being
We decided to replicate it. Last year, we celebrated MESHMERISE Boston , thanks to @PC, @SF, @AB and all the team in the US.
And next year, we will MESHMERISE in PUNE/INDIA ! @SG
Sep, 19th : 2 Events the same day!
The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab opened its doors at 2:00 pm and welcomed more than 150 Dassault Systèmes collaborators until 4:00 pm. This initiative was coming from the internal communication team to share what we do in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab and inspire our colleagues. A big thank you to @DH and @VO for their trust and interests.
Objectives of this 1st event were to :
- Great Stories : Share all innovative and disruptive projects part of our accelerator program
- Great People : Allow 3DS Mentors and colleagues to meet CEO and startup founders.
- Great Minds : Make 3DS colleagues fall in love with 1 or 2 startups and become hopefully a Mentor.
The FabLab’s doors were also open to present its features and feasibilities thanks to all our partners:
Although AI and Virtual Twin is everywhere, behind all those innovations, there are people : Watch the video for the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab Universe Inauguration created by @GG
The 2nd event with our external ecosystem:
From 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, we welcomed many attendees, much more than expected, we were very pleased to have so many external people on the Campus ! We had also many people online as all the event was live streamed on Linked In and Youtube !
The theme of this event was MAKE IMPACT and the 3DEXPERIENCE LAB OPENING CELEBRATION was a great opportunity to MAKE IMPACT and to donate for good: to help clean up beach plastics.
We committed to donate 10€ per registration to our partner : OceanHub Africa.
As we had more than 400 external registrations who came, it's a decent pledge ! The money collected will serve to turn trash into treasure :
Organization of a workshop with Captain Fanplastic for a group of kids
Followed by a treasure hunt on the beach to collect plastics
The beach clean-up will then be used to 3Dprint an object/piece of furniture designed on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
The agenda : From 4:30pm to 7:00pm, we welcomed 17 startups and 9 FabLab partners.
Startups : Atacama Biomaterials – Flexpenser – Chronospedia – XSUN – Futura Gaïa – Agreenculture – H2 Clipper – Delta Vision – Delta Orbit – DotLumen – Pacify Medical – Lattice Medical – Grapheal – Netzero – Midipile – Wattanywhere – Sylphaero.
Partners : Dell Technologies, Omron, Iscar, 3 Deus Dynamics, Formlabs, Fanuc, Adok, Varjo and Spot Robot.
We dressed up booths for startups and partners to present their innovations or technologies and the signage was made from 100% recycled materials and ivy from a tree on 3DS campus.
Startups : Delta Orbit & DeltaVision
From 6:00 pm – 6:05pm – Introduction of Victoire de MARGERIE in our new BOIS Amphitheater.
From 6:05 pm - 6:50 pm - Startups Pitch to Investors in our new BOIS Amphitheater moderated by @EB.
A big thank you to Ekaterina who managed the startups preparation and pitch presentation with smiles and energy.
Startups pitch in front of investors: Pacify Medical, Flexpenser, Grapheal, Lattice Medical and Atacama Biomaterials.
A huge THANK YOU to Leaders League, especially Aline Ouakine and Manon de la Motte, as well as Stanley Gehy from Gehy Avocats, for their invaluable contributions to the preparation of the startup pitch session at Meshmerise Paris!
And also a big THANK YOU to our jury!

From 7:45 pm - 8:15 pm Round table Discussion in our new BOIS Amphitheater
Topic : Is impact innovation driving new economic dynamics?
Watch the REPLAY!
The Experiences and Experiments :
The round table ended with a very magic testimony: Moulla Diabi and Sebastien Brugulat were interns at 3DS and in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab 12 years ago and since then has decided to involve 3D technology in his magic shows.
Discover his testimony 👇
Do you want to see Pascal Daloz’s phone disappear? Or experiment the 1st teleportation of a human being from the Amphitheater to the Hall?

🕺 We were also very proud to welcome Fayssal, a break dancer. 🕺
Fayssal is using Hopper's blade to express and continue his passion for the dance.
Hopper manufactures a blade from composite waste of the aeronautic industry, making sport more accessible to amputees on a daily basis

🤖 🤖 Do you know that Robots and Algorithms could create great songs? 🤖 🤖
This is the footprint of Moritz Simon Geist, who is a music producer and researcher working with sound, robotics and algorithms. Moritz Simon Geist made a career shift to focus on art and music. He merges sound with robotics and algorithms. His approach to electronic music, which involves creating sound through mechanical robots, has earned him international recognition.
And Moritz Simon Geist was on the BOIS Hall’s floor to ambiance our MESHMERISE attendees.

Finally, this event couldn’t have happened without a strong team spirit and engagement.
This end of the day was a great opportunity to celebrate all together.
A big THANK YOU to @FV @SR @LG @CB @FM @EB @FB @PS @SF @WS @BF @LC @JG @AB @AG @SG and our new apprentice @ML (a great party for a first day 🙂 ).
And as well to all of our volunteers to present VR and web experiences in our showroom: @GC @AA @OA @MD @MM @PC @DH @VD @SR @ST @MV
To the Event Team @MZ
To the social media team @HA @MD @JB @JN @MS
To the security team @KT and all his team
To @PB and his team.
And to the DELMIA Team @AC - OMRON partnership.
We believe our planet cannot afford anymore for everyone around the world to fly somewhere (CES is a good illustration), but to gather the local communities and amplify and connect online, and may be one day with a virtual world.
Stay tuned, next Meshmerise episode in 2025 in India, for new India Lab !
