About Project

Although with 3D printing technology, we could technically print a car model just in one piece, no need to assemble them as injection molded model kits that have dozens of pieces. But for some enthusiasts, there is a lot of fun in it and they prefer to print all the parts and paint them separately.

Solution

• Step 1: The model is built by the client and split into dozens of parts. All the parts need to be examined thoroughly before printing.
• Step 2: Add supporting structures and arrange the placement in the software. 3D print the parts with SLA ABS-like Resin and SLA Clear Resin. Considering the scale and the desired coating effect, we set the layer thickness to 0.05mm.
• Step 3: Cut off the supports and rinse with IPA. Polish to remove marks. After air drying, try to assemble all the parts and adjust the allowance with sandpaper so the car could be seamless.
• Step 4: Rinse the clear parts and dye them black, and spray with clear acrylic oil. Color other parts withmatte paint and acrylic oil paint as required. Assemble all the parts together and fix them with superglue.
