Restoring railways is a complex and expensive undertaking. Replacing individual signs and plaques is particularly difficult, as these are also popular with collectors, which can significantly increase their price – if these spare parts are even still available. 3D printing can provide a cost-effective solution here and help to restore the overall visual impression of…Continue reading3D printing: locomotive plate replicas

For 6 years my nativity figures were for sale on several different platforms and were regularly well rated, until one day a user suddenly gave negative feedback. Schlechte Qualität, keinerlei Details erkennbar. Schade ums Geld. (Bad quality, no details visible. A waste of money) Of course, I was a little taken aback by this criticism.…Continue readingRemastering the 3d printable nativity figurines
Anyone who makes 3D prints themselves is regularly faced with the problem of firmly joining different objects together. Especially miniatures made of resin are sometimes difficult to glue together.
Here are my best solutions for assembling 3D printed minis and other models.Continue readingBonding resin 3D prints, but how?

3 Years ago, I took a series of photos for a 3D model of the Brandenburg Roland. Sadly, these were not enough to build a watertight model. One week ago, my brother had the opportunity to re-shoot the statue and send me the pictures I needed to complete the model via mail. The statues of…Continue readingBrandenburger Roland in 3D
tl;dr: Reprinting fragmented objects can open various great possibilities for science, education, and museums. Especially the details of modern full-color printer could create very realistic looking replicas without endangering the fragile originals. The following 3D printed archaeological find, was made possible through Formwerk3D. Pottery finds from settlements Ceramic objects from settlements are normally very fragmented.…Continue readingPottery reconstruction – 3D printing
opening remarks The following article deals with a special application of 3D printing. The project described here was realized by the company Formwerk3D, for which I now work. When parts are missing Some time ago, we were contacted by the owner of a beautiful old building with an interesting request. The old building in question…Continue readingMissing parts replaced by 3D printing I
