This 21-part masterpiece pays homage to actual hand-mixers with its sophisticated design, showcasing what's possible with 3D printing technology. Designed for advanced enthusiasts and product design aficionados, this Hand Mixer project highlights the intricate capabilities of 3D printing in industrial design, prototyping, and product development. MakerBot's 3D Design Services expertly created this Hand Mixer to illustrate how complex elements can be flawlessly integrated into a single object. The designers achieved seamless mechanical integration by delicately surrounding components with an elegantly crafted outer shell. They also skillfully simulated color variations and over-molding effects, demonstrating the precision of the MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer. As printed on a MakerBot Replicator, all pieces, including the control dial, worm gears, motor assembly (featuring magnets, shaft, and cooling fan), mounting bosses, and screw bosses, boast remarkable realism. This printing process allows for reliable and hassle-free production without requiring support materials, exemplifying the benefits of 3D printing technology in everyday object design.
