On September 28th, 2023 the Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is hosting an event called Make Impact, Meshmerise.

MAKE IMPACT encapsulates the core ethos of Dassault Systèmes and the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, it embodies our unwavering dedication to generating meaningful change. It serves as a call to action, encouraging everyone to harness their collective skills, knowledge, and passion to create tangible, lasting impact in the world!​​​​​​​

Meshmerise Boston (invite only) aims to inspire and nurture innovation to make a difference. Through learning and connecting, you will gain fresh perspectives and be encouraged to think creatively about the challenges we face. This event gathers experts, partners, makers and startups to "mesh", share good practices and network with each other.

A main component of the event is the Glitch Experience. Artists in residence, @KR and @NM, worked with the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab technical director and FABLAB director, @SR, to pull this experience together. @SR designed mini plant pots, shown below, in CATIA xGenerative Design to complement the main attraction for this Glitch experience - stay tuned for a future post, you won't want to miss it!

These goodies will be given out to event attendees. The pots were 3d printed using wood PLA filament. The plants used for these mini plant pots only need to be submerged in water for a few minutes each week. They don't require soil. @SR ​​​​​​​also designed laser-cut packaging made from recycled corrugated cardboard, with laser-etched instructions on how to maintain the plant. All of these mini plant pots were fabricated in the Boston/Waltham 3DEXPERIENCE Lab FABLAB.
