Architecture
Applications
Building models, facades, landscapes.
Full-size elements and detailed scale models: urban planning models, interior prototypes.
What it gives
Clients see a physical model before ground is broken — approvals happen faster.
3D Printing for Mechanical Engineering: Tooling, Prototypes, and Small Batches
Protype CD400 / CD400HT + FILOPA12 CFABS PCABSPA6PA12
Assembly and inspection tooling, machine spare parts, assembly prototypes, and small batches without a mould.
Typical jobs
01
Jig for a new size
A locating jig or assembly template in PA12 CF. If the fit is off, the designer edits the model and prints the next version.
02
Machine spare part
A guide, cover, or bracket for an imported machine, reproduced from a sample or measurements in ABS PC. The model is kept for the next breakdown.
03
Assembly prototype before metal
A full-size ABS assembly checks layout, fastener access, and cable routing before machining is ordered.
04
Small batch of clamps
A few dozen identical clamps or locators in PA6, where a mould would never pay off.
When not to print
- Load-bearing parts that need the strength and stiffness of metal.
- Mating surfaces with tight tolerances: these are finished by machining.
- Runs in the thousands: moulding is cheaper.
- Assemblies that run hotter than the plastic's service temperature.
