Pushing The Boundaries Of Additive Manufacturing (3d Printing) Technologies

With technical solutions for both large format and high-detail smaller format prints, we can help determine the best technology to use for your project and deliver the highest quality that your project needs.

Full-sized prop weapons and even suits of armor can be printed whole. Need a T-Rex head? Our large format machines can handle it easily. Whether you have data already or need us to construct that data for you—we are here to be your trusted partner!

The Technology

Our Lab consists of the following technologies:

ProX 950

ProJet MJP 2500

iPro 8000

Our Specialties

With over 20 years of studio experience, we understand your end use application and will:

Choose the appropriate technology

Set expectations for either surface detail or larger part volume

Exact Sizing

Scale up/down… We specialize in scaling to your exact specification and execute within tolerance

Tailor Your Build

Pre Flight your geometry and optimize for the chosen printing process
Assign the appropriate wall thickness for master patterns/end use
Determine best setups to reduce mass/cost
Setup for the best orientation to deliver quality

Additive Manufacturing — What happens after the print?

This is where we stand out, while others will simply print it and stick it in a box, here at Gentle Giant we can do full cleanup, all the way to fine finishing (Post-Processing), through professional painting services.

Confirm Your Sizing

The end-use material compels the initial 3D Print sizing as we send builds to the machines.

Real-Time Build Monitoring

Our Additive Team has a combined 40 years of Additive Manufacturing experience and supervises all builds as they progress to a finished part.

Does it need to be cleaned up?

Some clients prefer us to do final cleanup on parts, and we can assist with this as needed.

We are actively involved and work intimately with the Additive Manufacturing industry.

“We love Gentle Giant. They have consistently produced spot-on hyper accurate work for us over the years, with the kind of attention to detail that we go crazy for here at Pixar.”
