| Hans Boodt, a Dutch mannequin specialist, is using a large FDM 3D printer from Tractus 3D in the Netherlands to cut mannequin production time from eight weeks to two days. The Tractus3D T3500 has a height of 210 cm and is ideally suited for mannequins Mannequins, The faceless but perfect proportions of human statues are used in clothing stores around the world, but have you ever really thought about how a mannequin is made and how long does it take and how much?  According to Dutch company Hans Boodt, a unique high-end mannequin has been created for clients such as Karl Lagerfeld, Hermès and Emilio Pucci. The production of the mannequin has lasted until recently, and each body takes about eight weeks.
It seems like a long time, but 3D printing makes sense when you understand the traditional production process of the human body model. Most human body models of high-end customers are hand-carved to create a perfect body, which makes their creation The process is long and expensive.
This is more than just an example of Hans Boodt's new poses and shapes: Each customer wants to have their own unique model, size, posture and color tailored to their collection This means that the model producer must quickly turn the design sketch into a high quality product in less time. However, recently Hans Boodt has been able to drastically shorten the time it takes to make a manikin. How? By using the large 3D printer Tractus3D (small Dutch company in the town of Ammerzoden.) With the Tractus3D T3500, the delta-FDM 3D printer has a centimeter Print diameter and height of 210 cm, Hans Bout has been able to 3D print the entire body model, the perfect solution to the needs of external suppliers, and reduce costs.
Coen Viguurs, Product Development Manager, said: '3D printing has revolutionized how we work at Hans Boodt, and our expert artists can use 3D printing to create the highest quality mannequins in days, according to the company.'
Hans Boodt eventually chose 3D printing to improve its service, but only after considering other modern manufacturing processes such as CNC machining However, after calculations, the company decided to reduce initial costs, reduce material costs and deliver high-quality results, enabling 3D printing Because of the use of 3D printing technology, Hans Boodt was able to get new mannequins faster than ever before, and the company sees its new development process as the easiest way to bring the personalized, branded mannequin to the store or exhibit the shortest possible time time. To produce multiple 3D printing models at once, Hans Boodt purchased a complete set of Tractus 3D FDM 3D printers, all of which are capable of making a complete, customized mannequin ready for immediate use.
According to Hans Boodt, machines like the Tractus3D T3500 are the ideal middle ground between a desktop (too small) and a typical industrial machine (too expensive). The T3500 costs 39,500 euros ($ 47,000) for individuals It is too expensive to use, but a good investment for a veteran like Hans Boodt. |
