Industrial scale model
Plants, equipment and civil works to scale, from CAD to finished piece.
Industrial 3D printing services
Three lines of work on the same printers: industrial scale models, prototyping and on-demand parts. The process changes; the starting file is the same.
One operation, three deliverables
Tesseract 3D is an industrial 3D printing company in São Paulo, Brazil. It prints industrial and engineering scale models, functional, appearance and assembly prototypes and on-demand parts, in FDM and SLA resin, from the client’s own file, and ships to every country.
A scale model is read by several people around a table and lives on finish. A prototype goes to the bench and lives on accuracy. An on-demand part goes to the line and lives on repeatability. Each line of work has its own page, with the process, the limits and what to send.
The three lines of work
Each with an anatomy, a spec sheet and common questions.
Engineering recommends material and scale in the review.
Prototyping
Functional, appearance and assembly, before tooling.
On-demand parts
Spares, jigs and fixtures in short batches.
No CAD file?
Photos from several angles and the main measurements also work. The engineering review tells you what can be done with them.
Scale model, prototype or part?
The same printer, different questions.
| Line of work | What it is for | Who asks for it | What matters most |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial scale model | Show, teach and sell what does not fit in the room | Sales, marketing, project engineering | Scale, detail and finish |
| Prototyping | Check shape, fit and function before the mould | Product engineering and design | Accuracy, material and rounds |
| On-demand parts | Replace and locate on the line without tooling | Maintenance and process engineering | Material, quantity and repeatability |
Where each line of work becomes a solution
Solutions start from what the piece is for. This is how the services fit in.
Training
Cutaway equipment models and assembly sets for the class.
Corporate gifts
Your company’s machine in miniature, painted in the brand colour.
Trade shows and events
The plant or the machine on the booth, finished for spotlights.
Sales demonstration
The whole machine on the client’s desk, opened in half section.
The same printers for all three
Models, prototypes and parts come off the same printers, at the same working tolerance.
- Dimensional tolerance
- ±0.1mm
- 3D printers
- 50+
- Projects delivered
- 1,500+
Common questions
Which line of work do I need?
If the piece will show or teach, an industrial scale model. If it goes to the bench before the mould, prototyping. If it will work on the line, an on-demand part. If unsure, send the file and say what it is for: the engineering review will point the way.
Do I need a 3D file?
It helps, but it is not required. Technical drawings, photos and dimensions also work, and the engineering review tells you what can be done with them.
Do you make final production parts?
In short batches, yes, through on-demand parts. High, repeated volume is work for a mould, and the engineering review says so before the quote.
How does an order work from another country?
Everything runs remotely, by email or WhatsApp, and the finished piece goes to the address you give us.
Trade showThe scale piece goes to the booth instead of the real machine.
TrainingThe machine that cannot stop goes into the classroom, cut open.
Sales visitThe rep carries in a suitcase what would never fit in one.
