About Project

This toy is designed as a circular spaceship although it's indeed not. It has three handles that could be firmly grabbed by children, and a large sphere body that could store some bricks. The clear acrylic oil makes it look like mass-produced ABS products.

Solution

  • Step 1: The model is composed of different parts and needed to be made with different techniques. Based on its using purpose, we recommend the material and confirm the dimension.
  • Step 2: We hollow the housings, then arrange all the parts in software and add necessary supports. Then 3D print them with SLA Generic Resin. The layer thickness we set is 0.05mm and we control the tolerance within 卤0.1 mm.
  • Step 3: When printing is completed, rinse the models with IPA and post-cure them with UV. Cut off all the supports and marks with scissors and graters, then polish with sandpaper.
  • Step 4: Paint the parts with airbrushes as required by the blueprint, then cover them with a thin layer of matte acrylic oil. Finally, assemble the parts together into one piece.
