A smart, modular display cabinet.

IN THE WORKSHOP

From model
to print.

In our smart home workshop, we use 3D printing to check how parts fit together. A test print can reveal what a drawing misses.

  1. 01

    Model the part.

    Start with the device and the space around it. The shape and dimensions give the first model its constraints.

  2. 02

    Print a prototype.

    Build up the shape layer by layer. Now there’s a physical part to hold, position, and inspect.

  3. 03

    Try it in place.

    Check the clearances and adjust the model for the next print. These prototypes are still in development.
