Scuba Gear Display Stands for CMP Technologies

Slatwall displays made to fit CMP Technologies' regulators, masks and fins: bent steel stands with 3D printed holders, in place of off-the-shelf hooks.

Client: CMP Technologies
Service: Product Development & Prototyping
Hangs on: CMP's existing slatwall, with no new fittings
Made for: Regulators, dive masks and fins
Colours: Matt black and Isuzu Blue

Plan a display for your products

Steel displays: 8 for regulators, 10 for masks, 10 for fins: 28
Regulator holders, 3D printed in carbon-fibre PETG: 33
Holder designs tried on the real regulators: 5

What we brought

What we can do
We design around your actual products
We measured CMP's own regulators, masks and fins, and tried every printed holder on the real gear.
How we look after you
You see it before we make it
CMP reviewed the drawings, a steel prototype and five holder designs on the way to the final order.
What you get
One look across your whole wall
Steel displays in matt black and Isuzu Blue, with printed holders, for every piece of gear on show.

The brief

Step 1 of 5 · 23/02/2026

Mounting: Their standard slatwall, hung like the old hooks
Gear: Regulators, dive masks and fins
Quantity: Eight to ten sets, one look across the range

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we designed display stands for CMP Technologies, a company in the scuba diving trade. Their slatwall used off-the-shelf hooks; they wanted stands made for their regulators, masks and fins.

Design & prototyping

Step 2 of 5 · 06/03/2026

We measured CMP's own gear and drew three folded steel displays: a sloped regulator panel 446 mm wide that lifts off the slatwall to release, a 298 mm mask shelf and a 462 mm fin stand set at 105°.

We tried printed holders on CMP's regulators by hand, to see how each part should sit.

Production

Step 3 of 5 · 31/03/2026

CMP ordered the approved design. The displays were cut and bent from mild steel: 8 for regulators, 10 for masks and 10 for fins. We 3D printed the 33 regulator holders in black carbon-fibre PETG.

A matt black fin stand on its own: two long legs splitting from the slatwall shelf — A fin stand, ready for the wall.

Build & assembly

Step 4 of 5

The displays were finished in matt black and Isuzu Blue. We fitted the holders with magnets and stainless steel hardware, and added a clear acrylic plate for product details.

The final build

Step 5 of 5 · 09/04/2026

CMP's regulators, masks and fins now hang on displays made for them, in one look across the range. The regulator panel lifts off the slatwall, and the holders keep each part in place.
