Creating a High-Performance Professional Training Pool Model
In-Depth Process: Creating the SwimEx Training Pool Model
Project Initiation and Client Collaboration
The project began with SwimEx approaching Custom3D with a complex virtual 3D model of their training pool. This model was ready for manufacturing and composed of over 1,000 intricate pieces. Our initial task was to understand the client’s requirements, ensuring that the final printed model would meet SwimEx’s high standards for precision and quality.
Simplification of the Model
Assessment and Analysis
Our team of experts meticulously examined the initial 3D model to identify opportunities for simplification without compromising on detail and accuracy.
We used advanced software tools to analyze the model’s structure and determine which components could be combined or modified.
Condensation Process
Through a detailed process of redesigning and optimizing, we reduced the model from over 1,000 pieces to just 49 pieces. This involved merging parts, eliminating redundancies, and ensuring that each piece was print-ready.
The condensed model was rigorously tested virtually to ensure that all parts would fit together seamlessly and maintain the integrity of the original design.
3D Printing
Preparation
With the optimized model ready, we prepared for printing by selecting the appropriate materials and printing techniques to ensure durability and precision.
Each piece was reviewed for printability, with adjustments made as necessary to accommodate the specifics of 3D printing.
Printing Process
Utilizing our state-of-the-art 3D printers, we meticulously printed each of the 49 parts.
Quality control was paramount; each piece was inspected for defects or inaccuracies, ensuring that only the highest quality parts proceeded to the next stage.
Assembly and Finishing
Collaboration with Design Formations
Recognizing the importance of a flawless final product, we partnered with Design Formations to prepare the model, paint it, and finish it.
Their expertise in model finishing complemented our printing capabilities, ensuring that the final product would be visually stunning and functionally accurate.
Assembly
The 49 pieces were carefully assembled by the Design Formations team, following precise guidelines to ensure accuracy.
Each piece was fitted together with attention to detail, ensuring that the model was both stable and true to the original design.
Painting and Finishing
Once assembled, the model was painted to match SwimEx’s specifications. This involved multiple stages of painting, with each layer meticulously applied to achieve the desired look.
Finishing touches were added to enhance the model’s aesthetic appeal and durability, making it a perfect representation of SwimEx’s high-quality hydrotherapy pools.
Final Review and Delivery
The completed model underwent a final review process where both Custom3D and SwimEx assessed it to ensure all requirements were met.
Feedback from SwimEx was positive, highlighting the model’s precision, detail, and overall quality.
The finished product was delivered to SwimEx, ready to be used as a demonstration tool for their advanced hydrotherapy solutions.
Conclusion
This project exemplifies Custom3D’s ability to handle complex designs and deliver high-quality, custom 3D-printed models through innovative problem-solving and effective collaboration. By transforming a complicated 1,000-piece model into a streamlined, finished product, we demonstrated our commitment to excellence and our capability to exceed client expectations.
