Something to put on the table at the review, in the right colour, at the right size, days after the CAD was finished rather than weeks.
Where it earns its keep
Appearance models and concept parts in standard white resin, sanded and painted
Fit and assembly checks before a tool is cut
Clear parts in Somos WaterShed XC for lenses, lightpipes and flow visualisation
Short production runs where tooling would never be paid back
How it gets printed
This is SLA work almost every time: the surface comes off the machine smooth enough to finish properly, and fine features — a snap fit, a living hinge, a text label — survive. The printing gallery is the honest record of what that looks like.
Doing it yourself
Studios that iterate daily bring it in-house on a HeyGears Reflex, where the printer, the wash, the cure and Blueprint Studio are one workflow rather than four purchases.
Talk to an engineer, not a form
Describe the part and someone who prints these every week will tell you whether printing is the right answer — including when it is not. Send us the file, or call 0330 229 0175.
