Creating a custom piece for model making: between passion and precision

When the passion for modeling meets technology

At LB Lab , each custom-made piece is the result of real work involving listening, design and know-how.

When an enthusiast entrusted us with his modeling project, we immediately understood that this project would combine technical requirements and creative pleasure.

Our mission: to design a custom part for model making that is robust, lightweight and perfectly adapted to your model.

To do this, we first carried out a 3D scan of the model .

These can 3D allowed us to precisely reproduce the hull so that we could model our part with a perfect fit.

Thanks to this step and the high-precision handcrafting, we were able to create a part perfectly adapted to the real model.

Choosing the right material: PETG enriched with carbon fiber

For this custom piece , strength and stability were essential.

We therefore opted for additive manufacturing , using PETG enriched with carbon fiber , a material known for its strength, lightness and resistance to water, heat and UV rays.

3D printing in PETG-CF allows the production of durable and perfectly finished parts, ideal for the mechanical constraints of a sailing model.

For aesthetics, we opted for a printing plate with a Carbon fiber pattern, this pattern is repeated directly on the first layers of the filament during printing. 

Each custom piece we design is designed to combine technique, aesthetics and longevity.

From 3D scanning to manual finishing: a complete method for each personalized 3D project

Our process is fully controlled, from digital to the hand of the artisan:

1. Realization of the 3D scan of the boat to capture all the shapes of the model with precision.
   
   

2. Computer-aided design of the custom part for model making .
   
   

3. Manufactured via 3D printing in PETG enriched with carbon fiber , guaranteeing strength and precision.
   
   

4. Hand-finished and adjusted from our high-precision artisanal manufacturing .
   

This comprehensive know-how allows us to carry out any type of personalized 3D project .

Each personalized 3D project benefits from careful monitoring and a high level of requirement, whether it is a mechanical, decorative or structural element.

This is how we transform a simple personalized 3D project into a unique creation perfectly adapted to its use.
