3D Print

Edited-image12392-(1)

3D prints can be a valuable tool in helping non-technical colleagues or stakeholders understand a 3D shape and the associated challenges your team are facing.

3D printing turns scanned point-cloud data into a physical model, letting teams and non-technical stakeholders handle the geometry they are working on. Where multiple engineering options are being considered, each permutation can be printed so the whole team can compare them physically. 

  • Design review meetings —  physical models of the geometry under discussion. 
  • Comparing engineering options —  printed permutations of competing solutions. 
  • Explaining to non-technical stakeholders —  geometry understood by hand rather than by drawing. 
  • Recovery and intervention workshops —  planning against a physical replica. 

By blending the capabilities of 3D photogrammetry and the inherent ability of 3D printing to create infinitely complex shapes, the challenge being undertaken by your team can be brought into the real world and placed on the desk during your meetings.

In cases where multiple options exist to solve your issue, 3D printing can be further deployed to manufacture copies of the various permutations under consideration, allowing all members of the team to grasp the geometrical challenge more naturally and instinctively.

3D printing can bring your 3D data to life, making it ideal for design reviews, recovery workshops, and explanatory models.

“We’ve been enjoying and working with 3D printers since the company's inception. From rapid prototyping of our own designs to fully operational parts, we’re experienced in the benefits, challenges and capabilities of the various additive manufacturing technologies. Many customers also find value in producing physical versions of their 3D scan data.”
