On this portfolio page we present a real example of 3D printing focused on manufacturing a mechanism base that is stable, precise and ready for functional use. This type of part is essential to ensure proper alignment, rigidity and reliable assembly of mechanical or electromechanical components.

Project objective

The goal of this project was to produce a technical base printed in 3D with clearly defined mounting points, optimized geometry and controlled tolerances. As this base acts as a structural element of the mechanism, mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy were key requirements.

Process: from concept to finished part

3D model review: dimensions, fits and critical areas such as holes, guides and support zones were carefully checked.
Print optimization: wall thickness, reinforcements and print orientation were adjusted to improve rigidity and minimize deformation.
Material selection: the material was chosen according to the final application, including load, temperature and vibration requirements.
Printing and quality check: the part was manufactured and key dimensions were verified before final delivery.

Mechanism base features

Functional part: designed for real assembly and operation.
Mounting points: prepared for screws and mechanical components.
Reinforced geometry: ribs and support areas for increased stability.
High precision: tight tolerances to reduce play and improve alignment.

Typical applications

3D printed mechanism bases are ideal for functional prototypes, spare parts and technical adaptations. Common use cases include:

Supports for motors, gears and pulleys
Bases for automation and robotics mechanisms
Technical housings and internal structures
Short production runs with customization

Advantages of 3D printing this part

Fast production: no molds or complex machining required.
Cost efficiency: optimized material usage for prototyping and small series.
Design flexibility: quick iterations and improvements.
Full customization: the base is adapted to real project requirements.
