About Project
Imagine owning a piece of automotive perfection, a stunning Ferrari LaFerrari, captured in every meticulous detail. Now, imagine that masterpiece brought to life through the power of 3D printing. We're thrilled to showcase this incredible project: a full-scale, SLA 3D printed enclosure of the iconic red Ferrari LaFerrari, built for display and crafted with precision by FacFox!
The Ferrari LaFerrari is a symbol of automotive excellence, renowned for its sleek, aerodynamic design and breathtaking performance. From its sharp, angular headlights to its prominent side air intakes, every contour speaks to its performance-focused engineering. Our client sought to capture this essence in a life-size display piece, and we delivered with the help of FacFox's exceptional 3D printing services.
The Journey to Perfection
- Precise Digital Capture: The journey began with meticulous 3D scanning, capturing the LaFerrari's every curve and detail.
- Reverse Engineering & CAD Mastery: Our team then employed reverse engineering and advanced CAD software to create a flawless digital model, ensuring accuracy and fidelity.
- The Material of Choice: For this project, we selected SLA ABS-like Resin due to its exceptional accuracy, durability, and outstanding machinability. This material allowed us to achieve the smooth, high-quality surface finish required for a display piece of this caliber.
- Unmatched Detail & Durability: The SLA process enabled us to reproduce the LaFerrari's complex geometry with incredible precision. The ABS-like resin provided the necessary strength and durability for a full-scale enclosure, while its machinability allowed for precise tapping and threading, ensuring a seamless assembly.

Solution
- Step 1: The original Ferrari LaFerrari was 3D scanned. This process captured the precise dimensions and contours of the vehicle.
- Step 2: A digital 3D model was created through reverse engineering and CAD software. This ensured accurate reproduction of the vehicle’s design.
- Step 3: The 3D model was prepared for SLA printing. This involved slicing the model and optimizing it for the chosen printing process.
- Step 4: The individual sections of the LaFerrari enclosure were 3D printed using SLA ABS-like resin. This material was selected for its accuracy, durability, and machinability.
- Step 5: The printed sections were cleaned and post-processed. This involved removing support structures and smoothing the surfaces.
- Step 6: The individual printed sections were assembled. This was done to form the full car enclosure.
- Step 7: The prints were fixed to the frame by bolts and fasteners, rivets and adhesives. This provided a secure and stable structure.
- Step 8: The assembled enclosure was sanded and prepared for painting. This ensured a smooth and flawless finish.
- Step 9: The enclosure was painted in a glossy red finish. This replicated the iconic Ferrari color.
