Electroforming and 3D Printing are both additive manufacturing processes. Whereas Electroforming builds up precision metal parts atom by atom, 3D Printing works by applying materials in droplets through a small diameter nozzle and “print” layer by layer to build up the product.
Studio Artefact specializes in “themed immersive experiences” uses 3D printing to create awe-inspiring structures and decorations. At present, Studio Artefact operates a fleet of six BigRep large-format 3D printers. The team works mainly with PETG, and has seen its horizons widen exponentially with each additional 3D printer installed. Prior to 3D printing, it would make most of its large structures with styrofoam sculpting, welding, and woodworking technique, which was painstaking and took much longer than 3D printing, placing a limit on productivity and profitability.
How to create consistency in injection moulding part production through detailed, scientific processes.

Read how Kawasaki Motors Corp.’s Lincoln, USA manufacturing facility saved up to 85% of costs on production tooling by optimizing automotive and aerospace production with BigRep’s large-format additive manufacturing systems. Kawasaki wasn’t a stranger to 3D printing before diving into large-format with their BigRep. By opting to invest in their own facility instead of depending on outsourcing, Kawasaki brought supply chains in house, streamlined engineering and logistical workflows, and returned their investment in just 6 months.
