It all started with a desire to give our clients something truly memorable. Instead of the typical holiday card, we wanted to showcase the versatility and beauty of 3D printing in a fun, festive way. Using SolidWorks CAD software, we designed tree ornaments featuring intricate pine needle structures. But here’s where the real magic happens: these ornaments were printed at an angle, eliminating the need for supports and showcasing the precision of our SLA 3D printers.
The ornaments don’t just stop at the printing stage. After printing, each one undergoes a transformation through a hand-finishing process where we carefully dye and paint them in traditional holiday colors, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Imagine the joy of receiving a Christmas card, only to find a unique, handcrafted ornament inside that you can hang on your tree—a lasting memory of both the holidays and the incredible possibilities of 3D printing!
This project isn’t just about holiday spirit; it’s a reflection of how Custom Prototypes continues to push the boundaries of 3D printing with art and advanced manufacturing. Our team takes pride in creating something that’s both functional and beautiful, and we believe these ornaments are a perfect example of how technology can elevate tradition.
From our family to yours, we hope these 3D-printed ornaments add a touch of innovation and warmth to your holiday celebrations.
Happy Holidays from Custom Prototypes!
