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.
