In previous cases, Prindream has introduced the aeroengine model made by us, which is so complex in structure and excellent in design that it is amazing.

Today, Prindream has brought another engine model – a car engine model.

3D-Printed engine

 

The engine is a model for an exhibition and is much simpler in structure than an aeroengine.

The difficulty lies in the large size of the model and the overall printing. Solid printing is too thick, more consumables, high cost, if the direct hollow-out is applied, we are afraid of deformation for long-time placement.

To solve this problem, the designer will draw out the interior, and then design a network structure, which can not only play a role in strengthening the support, but also facilitate the flow of resin inside.

After adjusting the structure, the weight of the model is less than half of the original, which can save materials and reduce costs to the maximum extent.

Adding support and printing on machine.

The effect of the white prototype has been very good!

Fine grinding, spray silver paint lead to a metal texture and more realistic effect!

This is the same engine model printed with transparent resin. Due to the lack of polishing inside the hollow structure, it presents a frosted effect. The solid part of the edge is very transparent.

However, it is also another kind of beauty!

The mountain is not high, there is a fairy name,

The water is not deep, the dragon is the spirit.

The engine to the car, such as the fairy to the mountain, the dragon to the water, is the heart of the car, and determines the car’s power, economy, stability and environmental protection.

The engine upgrade and renewal also need to go through countless times of improvement and verification before being realized. The use of 3D printing can greatly shorten the verification time, optimize the design structure, and also show the most perfect model in front of our eyes!
