Comment reproduire des pièces de voiture devenues introuvables ?

If you are a car enthusiast and own a classic car, you have probably experienced this situation: you are looking for a spare part for your car, but you can't find it. Maybe it's a rare part for a classic car, or maybe the manufacturer doesn't produce them anymore. Either way, it can be frustrating and discouraging. Fortunately, 3D printing is here to put a smile back on your face.

Gryp is a company that specializes in remanufacturing parts using 3D printing, especially for the automotive industry. In this article, we will explore how 3D printing can be used to reproduce car parts that have become unobtainable, from hobbyist to low-level professional applications. In this article, you will discover: How to convert a part into a 3D model The technologies available to remanufacture a part Reproducible part typologies

How to reproduce a part for your car with 3D printing ?

To begin with, it is essential to create a digital 3D model of the object to be reproduced before starting 3D printing. This requires the use of specific software capable of generating a model in a universal print format, such as .3mf, .stl or .obj, although formats specific to 3D design software such as .sldprt or .catprt can also be used. Several methods, such as measurement transfer, photography, photogrammetry and 3D scanning, can be used to create a 3D digital model of an existing object.

These technologies allow any object to be reproduced from an existing model, which is particularly useful for classic car owners, creating prototypes, reverse engineering or creating a 3D digital archive.

Measurement carryover :

Transfer measurement is a simple method of reproducing plastic objects. It involves accurately measuring the dimensions of the object with an electronic caliper, then entering them into 3D design software to model the object in 3D.

If the object is more complex, photography can be used by taking pictures of the object from different angles, then using them to recreate the object in 3D using modeling software.

The photogrammetry :

Photogrammetry is a more advanced technique that uses photographs taken from different angles to automatically recreate a 3D object using a 3D modeling algorithm.

The 3D scanner :

Finally, 3D scanning is a method of capturing the shapes and details of an object in 3D using technologies such as lasers, infrared and ultrasound. This method produces accurate 3D models, with textures and colors, which can be used for 3D printing or other applications. The 3D scanner can be used alone or in combination with other methods, such as photogrammetry, to obtain even more accurate models.

The manufacture of your part using 3D printing :

Additive manufacturing is an ever-evolving technology that offers more and more possibilities as the years go by. At Gryp 3D, we strive to keep up with the times to offer you an ever-expanding array of reproducible parts.

Our specialty is the reproduction of ornamental parts, such as headlamp washer covers, ventilation grills, steering wheel centers, grille or hood logos, and many others. Several levels of finish are available depending on the aesthetic importance of the part. For example, a hose clip will be sold raw, while a grille logo will be sold with an elaborate finish called "complete." The know-how acquired in additive manufacturing and in plastic processing allows us to offer you reproductions identical to the original models.
