Bfull Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture), 3D Printer Division, has launched a 'real-machine-free large-scale mockup' fabrication service for companies exhibiting at trade shows and in the manufacturing industry. This service precisely reproduces large-scale equipment as lightweight, modular models, allowing companies to showcase multi-meter-sized products without special transportation. With movable mechanisms and visible internal structures, it serves as a sales support solution that intuitively communicates product appeal.
Background and Challenges in Manufacturing
Companies handling heavy or large products have expressed the following challenges in trade shows and sales meetings:
- High round-trip transportation and heavy machinery costs for on-site setup
- Inability to halt production-line machines for exhibition purposes
- Difficulty conveying complex internal structures and operational principles using only 2D drawings and catalogs
Bfull leverages cutting-edge 3D printing technology to solve all of these challenges with its 'real-machine-free large-scale mockup' service.
Three Overwhelming Advantages of the 'Real-Machine-Free Large-Scale Mockup'
1. Unlimited Size, Portable 'Modular and Lightweight Design'
Even for products measuring several meters, Bfull proposes a segmented structure designed for strength balance and easy on-site assembly. Special heavy transport is eliminated, enabling transportation via company vehicles or even by individual sales staff.
2. Free Data Editing. Delivery in as Little as 2 Weeks for 1m-Scale Models
Production is possible upon submission of 3D data or 2D drawings. Data editing tasks such as 'wall thickness adjustment' and 'internal structure optimization' required for scaled-down models are handled free of charge by Bfull engineers. Being completely mold-free, ultra-fast delivery is possible even for single-unit orders.
3. Enhanced Persuasiveness with 'Precision Painting' and 'Movable Mechanisms'
Bfull's advanced coloring technology reproduces metallic textures to the highest degree. Additionally, the service supports 'movable mechanisms' such as valves and pistons, and 'diorama creation' simulating operational environments, intuitively conveying the true value of products that are difficult to explain verbally.
Comparison of Mockup Fabrication Methods
Bfull's 3D printing service holds significant advantages over traditional methods.
