About Project

This miniature model of the G-Class W463 offers the highest level of detail based on original CAD data. The intricate detail is underscored by the paintwork in the original color shade and an authentic interior. The equipment line featuring the 48.3 cm (19-inch) light-alloy wheels in 8-spoke design (RK3) was also accurately recreated with this model car. The model is mounted on a printed base in a presentation box and is delivered in Mercedes-Benz designer packaging.

It's now available on Mercedes-Benz's website and the prototype was firstly 3D printed with photosensitive resin.

Solution

• Step 1: As required and also for the convenience of post-processing, print all the parts separately with the SLA 3D printing method. To mimic the texture and quality of a real G-Class, at least three types of resin have been involved, like SLA Black Tough Resin, SLA Clear Resin, DLP Flexible Resin, etc.
• Step 2: Post-processing which includes support removal, post-curing, painting, electroplating, etc.
• Step 3: Hand-assembled the model from over 27 individual parts.
