In recent years, 3D printing has gained widespread popularity

in the modeling industry, particularly for accessory production.

A few years ago Eduard, too, embraced this technology, gradually

replacing traditional casting methods with direct printing,

constituting approximately 80% of our Brassin production.

Removing Supports: Cut supports using a sharp scalpel, razor saw, or ultrasonic knife.

The primary advantage of 3D-printed

accessories lies in their simplicity, with

fewer parts enhancing user-friendliness

in terms of assembly. Unlike cast kits that

suffer from shape instability due to mold

degradation, 3D-printed parts maintain

dimensional stability.

Here's an overview of working with our

3D prints, simple activities suitable for

modelers of varying skill levels.

The 3D printed parts are connected to

the base through printing supports. These

supports are typically terminated directly

with a rod in areas where the side is not

visible. When the supports are attached

to the visible side of the part, small balls

are added to the top of these supports to

prevent them from chipping off along with

a piece of the set's part during removal.
