JDMC 3D-printed truck

JDMC, the first full-size working truck made with 3D printing. Dashboard, panels, surrounds and trim of a commercial vehicle rebuilt at full size with 3D printing, fitted to a real chassis and unveiled in a showroom. The first 3D printed truck at 1:1 scale that actually works.

How we did it

  1. Models split into parts

    Dashboard, door panels, surrounds and badges modelled in 3D and split into printable pieces, with joints and fixing points.

  2. Printing

    Dozens of parts printed in large format, then trimmed, dry-fitted and bonded.

  3. Finishing

    Filler, sanding, primer and paint: the surfaces have to look like a production vehicle.

  4. Assembly

    The dashboard with digital instruments, controls and trim fitted to the cab on the working chassis.

  5. Launch

    Showroom, lighting and filming for the vehicle launch.

Bring us the context. The constraints. Even the mess.
