Supersize or Miniaturize Your 3D Printed Design to Meet Demand

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This is a short video of three cars printed by Objet. These tiny 3D printed carsare all created the same way, re-sized and re-printed by the Objet Eden350 3D Printing machines. Watch this video – I couldn’t believe the resolution to make such small things was possible – printed, pre-assembled - My first thought? Monopoly pieces. My second thought? If you leave these cars lying around, ants may steal one and go for a joy-ride. Just thought I’d warn all of you.

Minaiture 3D prints

It wasn’t Objet’s intention with this video, but this is a great example of how one can utilize 3D printing to create products of different sizes and hit particular price points. We crowdfunded the creation of the Rygo by offering various-sized 3D prints of Bathsheba Grossman’s design so that anyone could contribute.

Josh Harker’s Kickstarter campaign, Crania Anatomica, followed the same route. His design could be sized to suit various price-points. When we printed the full-sized, 7 foot version of the Rygo in stone with a DShape 3D Printer, we scaled the original design (about 2 inches in height) by a magnitude of 42. We sold the small ones to fund the big one, essentially.

As strange as it sounds, one day your design is a cup, the next it could be sold as a flowerpot. (For those hardcore coffee-drinkers – maybe it STILL is a cup.) For automotive manufacturers, it might be possible to team up with a toy company and sell exact replicas of their newest model. The future of CAD and 3D printing isn’t so much about customizing for people’s needs – it could be customizing for a customer’s price points. Creating designs with the metaphorical price sticker gun at your head is nothing new, but this goes to show how 3D printing is adding extra dimensions to an old problem (pun intended).
