Using our existing CAD files for these Dredd Armour pieces we scaled them down to 1/6th size and printed them on our *NEW* Resin DLP 3D Printers in black ABS-like resin..
The result was excellent, especially considering that direct scaling down files can leave prints a bit thin in areas. Not this time!

Some parts are tiny — like the Dredd Gas Grenade arm — and may be better joined to the Grenade body itself.
What challenges have you faced when using a 1/6th Scale Model?

This is the making-of a 3D Print Commission from a Client; a styled replica of the Star (15cm wide) on the back of Lister’s Jacket from the Cult TV program Red Dwarf [Series 10, EP.1, Trojan]
The Process to work with IDM on a Commission went like this …
This screenshot outlines the conversation, feedback and review with the Client as we develop their commissioned work…
Research … that thing we all hated at School. Now it all makes sense …
We Sketch, Design, Consult and work our way through various 3D Computer Aided design Prototype designs …
We test print (many times) and then often return to 3D CAD and refine, refine, refine … then when it’s good we 3D Print, again.
After 3D Printing there is some cleanup and aesthetic considerations for weight, strength and mechanical fixing, glueing, more testing, testing, testing …
And then it’s MADE !
The project can go on from here to Painting or Mass Production Casting or multiple 3D Prints.
IDM can take your Concept from Start to Finish.

Part of our list of Large Investments … FlashForge 3D Printer(s) for COSplay Prop Making.
IDM Imagineering 3D Printing Mass Production
Our open sourced FlashForge 3D Printer(s) are perfectly compatible with different slicing softwares and firmwares to access more functions and materials from PLA and ABS to Wood and Rubber.
One as not enough, so now we have access to 10 in-house and more remotely at 3D Print Works, the company that supplies us with our custom mixed filaments and advanced 3D Print engineering support.
We use these FlashForge 3D Printer(s) to Prototype Master Props for moulding and casting and we also use them to mass-produce COSplay props, badges, guns, toys and gadgets for all areas of COSplay costuming, armour and weapons.
