What we brought
What we can do
We model from a photo
We built the 3D model from a reference photo of the real sensor.
How we look after you
Big parts, few joins
Two printed parts, each about 200 mm across, meet at one seam, where the real unit has one.
What you get
It reads as the real thing
White body, blue band and the brand's logo: the replica reads as the real sensor at a glance.

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we modelled and 3D printed a display replica of the Dedrone RF-360 drone sensor for a private client. They needed it to look like the real unit, made from photos and references.
Fabrication
Step 2 of 4
We modelled the sensor from the reference photo, then 3D printed it in white PLA as two parts, a top and a bottom, each about 200 mm across.
Build and assembly
Step 3 of 4
The two printed parts join at a seam low on the body, in the same place as the line on the real sensor.
The final build
Step 4 of 4
The finished replica has the real sensor's shape in white, with the blue band round its middle and a Dedrone logo label below it.
