3D printing examples and prototype gallery

examples of the work myprintpod can support across functional prototypes, short production runs and development-led projects.

these examples show the kinds of prototype, tooling and low-volume manufacturing work we support.

additive manufacturing video examples

short clips from the myprintpod youtube channel showing process, parts and production examples.

video 1: custom application

racing restraint system developed for a McLaren 720S supercar. used in excess of 165 mph.

video 2: co-creation lab development

creation of a test rig needed to develop a new cleaning system for trains.

video 3: co-creation lab development

development of a robotic cleaning head utilising an integrated motion system and cleaning jets to wash road transport.

video 4: concept development

1:10 scale model of the design of a train washing system. used for client demonstrations and engineering validation.

video 5: manufacturing as a service

example of parts manufacture for custom tooling used in the war gaming community.

video 6: prototype development

development of a prototype nylon-6 roller system used to bend curtain tracks with difficult cross-sectional profiles.

video 7: manufacturing as a service

development and limited batch manufacture of company logos for a south coast events company.

Prototype gallery image: raspberry pi case magnetic

raspberry pi case magnetic

Raspberry Pi case with neodymium magnets added to secure the system for a 3D printing application.

Prototype gallery image: rollers for curtain pole bending

rollers for curtain pole bending

rollers developed to provide a curtain track company with custom bending profiles. these can be expensive to produce, but 3D printing made production around 5x cheaper than subtractive manufacture for the same parts.

Prototype gallery image: prototype lip salve bottle
