Request a quoteA precise 3D file is at the heart of every 3D printing project. If you don't have a 3D file yet, that's no problem. Our experts are happy to create a 3D model based on an idea, sketch or image.
Large-format 3D printing is our specialty. With our specially developed large format 3D printers, we bring your idea to life in an impressive size — for every area of application and every occasion.
A perfect finish makes the difference. We prepare your project for further processing by carefully sanding and puttying and ensure the perfect appearance with a tailor-made (airbrush) paint.
Every project is unique and requires the right support. In our metal workshop, we design and manufacture the right bracket for your project so that it can be presented safely and optimally.
We'll take care of the safe packaging and shipping of your project. With custom-made packaging, we ensure safe transportation, and when needed, our team is ready to assist with on-site assembly.
This is how a project works with us
Initial consultation and planning
Detailed communication at the start of a project is the key to success. Together with you, we coordinate the exact scope of the project, define the objectives and advise you on the right choice of materials and procedure.
Preparation of offers
Based on the information collected, we will create your tailor-made offer. As soon as you confirm the offer, we start working immediately. Usually within 24 hours of your request.
3D modeling and preparation
Depending on your initial situation, we model your project in 3D or prepare the existing model for 3D printing.
3D printing
As soon as the 3D model is prepared, printing can begin. Taking into account the optimal process parameters, the 3D printers get started and make your project a reality.
Post-processing & (airbrush) painting
The component is then removed from supporting structures and prepared for further processing and/or (airbrush) painted after consultation with you.
Dispatch and assembly
Finally, we ensure project-specific packaging, fast shipping and, if necessary, assist you with on-site assembly.
Large-format 3D printing offers numerous advantages.
Large-format 3D printing opens up new horizons. Can be used flexibly both indoors and outdoors. Complex geometries and creative shapes are easy to implement.
Time-critical inquiries are our daily bread. Make your project a reality within a very short time through automated production on our large-format 3D printers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Direct production from a digital 3D model. Cost-intensive tools, molds and devices are becoming obsolete and time-consuming manual rework was once upon a time.
Resource efficiency and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. Our material for outdoor use is made from 100% recycled plastic and scrap can be completely processed into new material.
Creative Polymer is your creative partner for individual, large-format sculptures, sculptures and prototypes. Discover the added value of large-format 3D printing for yourself. Let us set new standards together. We are excited to hear about your idea and look forward to hearing from you.
More about usThe starting point for any 3D print is a high-quality 3D model. However, this does not have to be available right at the start of the project. We would be happy to work with you to create a 3D model for your project. The more specific the imaginations/templates are, the faster the 3D model is created.
This is difficult to generalize and depends heavily on the complexity of the model. As a rough rule of thumb, you can accept the following costs (net):
After completing the first draft, we will of course not present you with faits accompli. The costs always include two design iterations.
We prefer files in .stl, .step, or .obj format.
As a rule, however, we can also work with all other common 3D formats.
In principle, our 3D-printed exhibits are also ideally suited for outdoor use. We currently use PETG as a material for 3D printing for outdoor use, as it has a high temperature and resistance capacity. The exhibits must then be sealed with a clear coat to protect them from harmful UV radiation.
Particularly large exhibits are laminated from the inside with GRP to further increase resistance. However, as Creative Polymer is still a very young company, we currently have only limited experience with regard to the durability of 3D-printed exhibits in outdoor use. We can therefore currently not guarantee durability, in particular with regard to weather conditions such as strong wind, snow load or aging.
As a rough clue, a human sculpture (insert link to screenshot of the 3D model here) can be based on the following weights.
In addition to geometry, the weight of a 3D-printed exhibit depends heavily on the intended use. An exhibit that is not stressed and is used, for example, as an exhibition object at a trade fair, is significantly lighter than an exhibit that is intended for permanent outdoor use.
If the geometry allows a stressed object to be laminated from the inside with GRP, the required strength may also be achieved with a significantly lower component weight, as the inner GRP layer then provides the necessary strength.
You can find further clues about possible weights in our reference projects (insert link to reference projects). Referenzprojekten.
The production of the 3D-printed exhibit is always at the core of our services. All additional services, such as rework or painting, can be ordered as an option. This means that you can also order a “raw” 3D print, but not create a 3D model without subsequent production.
Our head office is located in Bochum. We have structured our order processing in such a way that all coordination steps can be carried out online or over the phone. Our new, even larger production hall is currently under construction. We produce 3D prints for companies throughout Germany and across Europe.
