3D Printed Parts - Previous Work

Our 3D printed parts gallery showcases real-world examples manufactured using in-house additive manufacturing technologies at SGD 3D. These projects highlight how industrial 3D printing delivers functional, dimensionally accurate components for a wide range of technical applications.

Functional Parts for Industry

Each part shown has been produced using one or more advanced 3D printing processes, including SLA resin printing, SLS nylon sintering, FDM polymer extrusion, or metal additive manufacturing. These technologies allow us to achieve complex geometries, tight tolerances, and mechanical properties that support both prototyping and production requirements.

Many of the parts featured here were manufactured for clients developing aerospace components, medical devices, automotive assemblies, industrial automation equipment, and consumer products. In most cases, 3D printing provided a faster, more cost-effective solution compared to traditional manufacturing, allowing functional testing and design validation before committing to full-scale production.

Controlled Manufacturing Process

Before production begins, all client CAD files undergo detailed design review to ensure manufacturability and dimensional integrity. Material selection is carefully matched to each application, balancing strength, flexibility, thermal stability, and surface quality.

Once printed, parts are post-processed in-house using appropriate finishing steps such as support removal, curing, sanding, or vapour smoothing. Every part undergoes visual and dimensional inspection before shipment to ensure it meets both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Short Lead Times with Consistent Results

The parts displayed in this collection demonstrate how industrial 3D printing supports rapid development cycles. Many projects are completed within days of receiving final design approval, allowing customers to maintain momentum through critical stages of prototyping, functional validation, and production preparation.

For many of our clients, the ability to produce small batches of functional parts without the delays or costs associated with tooling provides a clear advantage, especially in industries where timelines are compressed and design revisions occur frequently.

Serving a Wide Range of Applications

The work shown here represents projects delivered for sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical technology, industrial equipment, and electronics. In each case, 3D printing enabled rapid iteration, real-world testing, and accelerated product development.

Our additive manufacturing capability allows businesses to access production-quality parts early in the design cycle, identify design improvements through physical testing, and proceed to final manufacturing with greater confidence and reduced risk.
