Scottie 3d Prints
We went to ProtoSpace Utrecht to make some 3d prints of positive models for Scottie. Siert set up the batch the night before, but the next day all of the parts were printed out stacked on top of each other. Here's what the print chamber looks like after the parts have been printed. You vacuum away the excess dust to find your parts.
Once you've vacuumed out your parts, you place them in the other chamber for de-powdering.
Here's some parts ready for de-powdering.
You use compressed air to remove the dust from the parts.
Here's the finished prints. These prints contained a flange around the edges to make two part moulds. There are two separate pieces for the interior and exterior of the body. Unfortunately these prints were not used to make final moulds. We settled on using a 3d print that uses the whole model instead of creating boxes around the model. This uses less material and takes less time to print.
