About Project
Imagine capturing breathtaking shots with a camera gliding smoothly beneath a track, offering a unique, upside-down perspective. Look no further than SLA 3D printed underslung camera mounting systems, a revolutionary tool for filmmakers and videographers.
At FacFox, we specialize in crafting top-notch prototypes for the camera industry, and SLA 3D printing is perfect for underslung camera mounts. Here's why:
鈥 Precision and Detail:聽SLA printing delivers high dimensional accuracy, ideal for creating intricate mounting parts with perfect camera fit.
鈥 Functional Strength:聽The resulting resin prototype is robust enough for functional testing, ensuring your design can withstand the demands of production.
鈥 Visualization Made Easy:聽SLA allows for printing the camera and mount in designated colors, providing a clear visual representation of the final product.
鈥 Heat Dissipation:聽3D printing enables incorporating heat emission holes directly into the mount, a crucial feature for extended camera usage.
Benefits of Underslung Camera Mounts:
鈥 Dynamic Angles:聽This setup unlocks creative freedom, allowing for captivating low-angle and upside-down shots.
鈥 Smooth Tracking:聽The camera effortlessly glides along the track, producing seamless movement for stunning visuals.
鈥 Manual or Motorized Control:聽Choose between manual operation for precise adjustments or motorized control for automated camera movements.
Our team of experts is here to guide you through every step of the SLA 3D printing process for your underslung camera mount prototype. We ensure exceptional quality, fast turnaround times, and competitive pricing.

Solution
- Step 1: Design and Preparation
- The design for the camera mounting system was created using 3D CAD software. The camera and mounting part were carefully modeled to ensure proper fit and functionality.
- The slider rail system was also designed, considering the dimensions, movement range, and stability required for smooth camera motion.
- Once the design was complete, it was prepared for 3D printing.
- The camera and mounting part were 3D printed using Stereolithography (SLA) technology. A liquid resin material was selectively cured layer by layer using ultraviolet light, resulting in precise and detailed parts.
- The camera body and mounting bracket were printed in the desired shape and size. The resin used was chosen for its mechanical properties and durability.
- The slider rail was also 3D printed using white resin, ensuring a clean and smooth surface finish.
- After printing, the components underwent post-processing steps:
- Cleaning: Excess resin was removed, and the parts were cleaned to eliminate any uncured material.
- Support Removal: Any temporary support structures used during printing were carefully removed.
- Curing: The parts were exposed to additional UV light to fully cure the resin, ensuring maximum strength and stability.
- The camera body and mounting bracket were painted in appointed colors. This step involved applying paint or specialized coatings to achieve the desired appearance.
- The white resin slider rail remained unpainted, maintaining its original color.
- The mounting part was designed with specific heat emission holes strategically placed to dissipate any heat generated by the camera during operation.
- These holes allowed efficient ventilation and prevented overheating. Awls were used to check and adjust the holes.
- The camera was securely attached to the mounting bracket using screws.
- The slider rail was connected to the mounting system, allowing the camera to move smoothly along the set path. But the resin rails were not strong enough to hold the camera and you need to hold it with hands.
- Precise alignment ensured that the camera remained upside-down beneath the rail, providing the desired unique perspective.
