Here's a perfect example of why prototyping in 3D printing is essential for most businesses and projects! With this HVAC control bezel on this 1974 Ford Maverick, the original had suffered some warpage and shrinkage from the desert sun here in St. George and Mesquite. This made it hard to get an accurate 3D scan that just worked. So, after 3 physical designs and test fits I was able to make the perfect one for the job!
⚙️Each of the prototypes only took 1.5 hours to print on our super fast printer.
⚙️ The final design was 12 hours of precise printing to capture all of the prime details.
⚙️The final cost for this part was less than $60 plus design time.
The ability to rapid prototype before making the final design was critical in saving time and cost. I mean look how good the final design for the panel turned out!
For those of you interested, this was designed for the universal controls that are supplied with "Hurricane" series unit.
