What we brought
What we can do
Large parts in one piece
Each cover was printed whole by large-format SLA, so the panels need no joins.
How we look after you
Reinforced where it matters
Large SLA parts carry stress at their thin points, so we added reinforcement at the high-stress areas before handover.
What you get
Fit checked before handover
Supports removed, then test-fitted together on the bench so the client could confirm the fit before taking them.

- Our scope
- Large-format SLA printing, support removal and a test fit
At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we printed five large covers for a device enclosure for HoMED. The client supplied print-ready files at full size and needed to confirm that the parts fit together.
Printing large in SLA
Step 2 of 4
Each cover was printed in one piece by large-format SLA in white ABS-like resin, then its supports were removed. These are big, flat parts with ribs on the inside.
Reinforcing and test fitting
Step 3 of 4
Parts this large carry stress at their thin points, so we reinforced the high-stress areas. We then test-fitted the covers on the bench, held together with masking tape, so the client could confirm the fitment. The tape is only for the check: we do no assembly.
The final build
Step 4 of 4
The five covers were delivered to HoMED, reinforced and with their fit confirmed.
