3D Printing & Plating Anchor & Cylinder Models
The Task
Our client came to us seeking 3D printing and plating for custom components of a flag pod, specifically a specialized anchor and cylinder design. The core requirement was a printed height of 60mm for the parts, followed by a luxurious gold finish to achieve a high-end, visual impact.

The Solution
Upon review, we quickly identified that the anchor and cylinder models were ten times larger than the client's specified size. We promptly scaled the models down and adjusted the fitment dimensions to maintain the parts' structural integrity. To perfectly capture the anchor's intricate details, we selected resin 3D printing. Before proceeding with the luxurious gold plating, we provided the client with images of our previous plating work for final approval.
The Result
The client was thrilled with the delivery of the final parts. The flawless gold plating and the anchor's exquisite detail exceeded expectations, creating a truly luxurious colour and finish. The resulting shine and undeniable elegance of the anchor and cylinder made them a stand-out addition to his project.
