Another early start (5:30am) to catch the train to Grenoble. The trains went on strike (a regularly scheduled occurrence) but lucky for me, the strike didn’t affect trains running before 8am. (I love France. They’re so civilized here…) As I wasn’t scheduled to meet with the team from Soitec until...
Ever since Birgitte Wehrman of SUSS MicroTec dubbed me “Queen of 3D”, I have been leveraging that title for all its worth. (I figure, if I didn’t coin the phrase, it’s not really self-aggrandizing, is it?) At the same time, living up to the title can be daunting. So...
We currently have 14 separate discussions going on (with much more to come) across 3 forums addressing technology progress and limitations; supply chain issues; and standards development. As I suspected, most of the activity is happening around technology progress and limitations, because that seems to be where people have...

It’s only Tuesday, and already, it’s been a productive week for 3D news.
Today, July 6, 2009, is the day a vision becomes a reality. When I first started Françoise in 3D, I knew it was just the beginning of something much bigger.
As May rolls right into June, so do the 3D events; or should I say events in which 3D topics are addressed. Indeed, it seems as if 3D is permeating just about everything. From looking at the programs, it’s clear that organizers are struggling with categorizing presentations to fit under...
