How do you print custom parts like these in less than four weeks?!
By Clinton Perry
Not a glass block. Not a generic trophy. A bespoke, Roman column-inspired award with Cardiff’s county outline on the plaque – designed in Blender, printed on the HP MJF from Matsuura, bead blasted, spray painted, gold polished, clear coated, and filled with plaster for that luxury weight. All 26 of them, in a single 16-hour build.
Clinton Perry of MTDCNC visits Ken Pearce of Lunia 3D to go behind the scenes of a project that showcases exactly what modern 3D printing can do – from concept to finished part, faster and better than most people expect.
