Medtronic Hong Kong Medical Limited, a world-renowned medical technology company, would like to make product dummies that their salesmen could use to showcase their products to clients anytime and anywhere. They contacted us through an advertising agency, which led to this collaboration.
First, Medtronic needed to provide their products to us, so that our designers could create the 3D drawing based on the actual size of the products. Once the 3D drawing and printing files were prepared and confirmed by the client, the project would move on to the next important stage - 3D printing!
In this case, white resin was chosen as the 3D printing material because it is affordable, has the fastest production time, and is easy to paint, making it ideal for making product dummies. Additionally, since these product dummies were small and not single-colour designs, 3D printing them as a single piece would made it difficult to paint later. Therefore, our designers had thoughtfully separated the different coloured parts when working on the 3D drawings, in order to ensure a smooth post-processing stage for the 3D printing.
After the 3D printing process was completed, it was time for our post-processing team to paint and assembly the models! We carefully selected colours that were closest to the original product for painting, and the text on the model was completed by using silk-screen printing. Finally, a protective coating was sprayed on the surface to prevent paint chipping. After air drying, the components were all ready to be assembled, and the product dummies done!
