A fun little Express turnaround project to create a prop for the advert shoot. Fun fact – the finishing and the filming happened on the same day!
Overview
Our Express turnaround was pushed to it’s maximum for this job where we were asked how quickly we could produce a set of small props for a video shoot in September.
The client required a set of copies of the antler hair clip to be replicated and finished to look like the originals. Our task was to get them 3D modelled, 3D printed and painted in just under 3 days.
Product Details
CAD Design: 3DPRINTUK
Materials: PA2200 Nylon
Polishing: Yes
Dyeing: No
Finishing: advanced finishing by a 3rd party
Project Cost: Not Disclosed
Case Study Highlights
We produced 10 pairs of the 3D Printed Hair Clips, modelling them around a rough 3D scan and then 3D printing them on a short Express build.
They were then broken out from the build, vibro-polished for 4 hours and then painted in a bright and glossy gold.
Final 3D Printed Hair Clips
The actual hair clips (pictured left) appear to be in production, but our CAD was only used for the props and not the final product so we aren’t laying claim to those!
