Rapid large-scale 3D Printing opens up a world of possibilities. The Factory NYC can take any object, scan it or model it, and bring it to massive scales. Our 3D Printer using a proprietary UV-cured acrylic polymer which allows a whole new scale and speed of rapid prototyping:

  • Rapid: 100x faster than typical 3D printing
  • Quality: Medium/High-resolution
  • Precision: Create your exact design in physical space, with 1/16" precision
  • Size: Monumental — massive print volume (57” x 44” x 70") can be used to manufacture forms at any size sculpture. By printing sculptures in multiple sections with interlocking joints, we can assemble even room-sized sculptures and beyond.
  • Cost: Affordable, less expensive than other sculpting processes
  • Lead-time: Can perform rush and standard turn-arounds. If you’re considering producing a sculptural form, reach out to us early in your project’s development to schedule usage.
  • Delivery: ship sculptures anywhere, pre-assembled or assemble on-site.

The future of storytelling is sculptural

Testimonials

I like the ease of use in the Shapeways platform, being able to 3D print on-demand orders for the first time, and most of all–being able to scale my business. In the beginning years ago I basically had the change in my pocket and a credit line at my bank so I couldn’t order a ton of things, and you never know what’s going to sell.

Owner | Voytek Medical

During the process, we used Shapeways capabilities to 3D print many prototypes. That meant we had the option to iterate very quickly, print objects, and test them to see if they were working correctly in terms of complexity, or too much complexity.”

Yonatan Assouline

Manager & Co-Founder | Flamingo Works

Shapeways was really great when we worked together before, which led us to reach out again. It’s been so helpful to talk with them about what we could do in every aspect of 3D printing and finishing, and it saved us a lot of time in experimentation.”

3D printing helped New York architects restore the facade of an old building

News

MakerBot Replicator Z18 voxeljet VX1000

New York-based architecture firm EDG has used 3D printing technology to restore a historic building that was about to be demolished. 3D-printed molds helped to restore the unique façade. nine0003

EDG's team is focusing on a 1940s building on Fifth Avenue. At the time of construction, the facade of the building was decorated with a beautiful bas-relief with intricate patterns. The city authorities intended to demolish the dilapidated house, as the restoration of the facade would have cost too much, but EDG architects managed to save the building, promising to restore the main decoration to its original state without excessive costs.

Digital technologies helped to complete the task. The facade was digitized using a 3D scanner, and then the resulting models were corrected in 3DSMax and Rhino. The next step was prototyping with the MakerBot Replicator Z18 desktop FDM 3D printer. Architects printed plastic molds, then inserted rebar into them and filled them with cement mixtures, testing different materials in search of the optimal solution. nine0003

The final, full-sized elements are made in a similar way, according to 3D printed forms, but using an industrial 3D printer Voxeljet VX1000, capable of printing sand forms up to 2000x1000x1000 mm in size.

“This project had a clear goal - to find a way to save and restore decaying architectural treasures in New York and around the world. The beauty and historical value of many buildings threaten to sink into oblivion due to the ever-increasing cost of restoration work. Often we realize the tragedy of such losses too late, as was the case, for example, with the demolition of the old Pennsylvania Station complex. Therefore, we decided to find an economical method of repair and restoration. The simplicity and affordability of these technologies could very well lead to a revolution in architecture,” said EDG Chief Architect John Meyer. nine0003

Impressed by the results, the team has taken on two more AM restoration projects and even intends to build their own 3D printer optimized for architectural printing.

How does the international company Tapestry use it?

What happens when fashion and 3D printing join forces? It's becoming more and more likely that the fashion you see on the runway and the merchandise from hardware and jewelry to the shoes you see in stores have been prototyped using 3D printers. Tapestry, the first New York fashion house for contemporary luxury brands and the parent company of established high fashion brands Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, uses 3D printing in the early stages of product development. nine0003


Long before Tapestry and shortly after graduating in industrial design, Tomer Emmar founded a jewelry design company called Studio Forty Seven, where he was first introduced to 3D printing. There, for the first time in his career, he combined metal fabrication technologies with 3D printing. “After doing the necessary verification of the integration of 3D printing into the process, it became very clear to me that 3D printing would make any design process more efficient. It will help you quickly check the concept and get the job done. You can be sure that the concepts will be developed and the work can be done without having to allocate storage space for inventory,” said Emmar. nine0003

After moving to New York, Tomer worked at a 3D printing office where he learned how to work with various 3D printing technologies, including SLA, before joining Tapestry.

3D printing as a means of communication: design intent + functionality

As Rapid Prototyping Manager at Tapestry, Tomer Emmar manages a 3D print shop in New York and a team of prototyping specialists. They use various additive manufacturing technologies to speed up both the design process and the process of prototyping products across various categories. “We use 3D printing early and in the product design and development process. 3D printing is used to test aesthetics, functionality and help early in product development. The technology complements traditional fabrication methods early on,” Emmar said. nine0003

The future of 3D printing in Tapestry

Tapestry has embraced 3D printing to meet the demands of the rapidly changing fashion industry. The team can build a prototype overnight. It is faster and more economical than relying on overseas factories. Tapestry designers also benefit from the flexibility and speed of the technology, as they can make more informed decisions faster. Prototyping is carried out within the company. “This allows us to reduce the consumption of raw materials and reduce the cost of shipping samples from abroad. Doing less is better,” Emmar said. nine0003


3D printing is also helping Tapestry facilitate communication between international offices." COVID-19 has been a catalyst in accelerating the adoption of 3D printing. We have seen the importance of flexibility and the ability to prototype locally and regionally.
