At Chemets, we had the opportunity to collaborate with CeraSynth, a Slovenian high-tech company specializing in multilayer technical ceramics and SOFC/SOEC (solid oxide fuel cell and electrolysis) solutions. CeraSynth develops and manufactures custom ceramic modules and high-precision components with exceptional thermal stability. Their technologies are applied primarily in energy and hydrogen systems, the defense sector, and industrial and R&D projects requiring robust ceramic solutions.
The prototype model was designed for presentation at an international trade fair, where the client needed to effectively showcase the complex structure of their product within a limited exhibition space. The project was highly time-sensitive — from initial coordination to final delivery, our team had less than three weeks to complete it.
After receiving the technical documentation, we prepared a detailed proposal and recommended a combination of 3D printing technologies to achieve the best balance between precision, mechanical stability, and visual quality.
Together with the client, we aligned on:
- Visual expectations (smooth surfaces and fine details),
- Logistics (modular design, hidden joints, quick on-site assembly),
Final appearance (painting according to the RAL color scale and CGP branding in line with CeraSynth’s visual identity).
The provided CAD model was adjusted for optimal 3D printing — we defined divisions, alignment joints, and connection points to ensure perfect assembly.
Selected technologies included:
- SLA for visible, highly detailed surfaces,
- MJF for structurally demanding and robust components,
- FDM for internal, non-visible parts where cost efficiency was key.
After printing, the parts underwent filling, sanding, painting (RAL colors), and application of CGP decals. The model was designed as a modular system, enabling easy transport and quick assembly at the fair using pre-aligned joints.
The goal was to produce a compact yet highly realistic model that would allow the client to present their complex product convincingly in a limited exhibition space. The project was completed in 14 days, an exceptional turnaround considering the technical demands and the deadline for the London trade fair. The model was delivered on time and received outstanding feedback from both industry professionals and potential partners.
Continued Collaboration:
Following the success of the London presentation, CeraSynth commissioned us again in October 2025 to produce a new model for the SIDEC trade fair in Celje, Slovenia. For this version, we further optimized the modular divisions and surface finishing to ensure even faster assembly and maximum visual impact.
The CeraSynth prototype project perfectly illustrates how the combination of multiple 3D printing technologies (SLA, MJF, FDM) and precise project execution can deliver top-quality results in record time. By merging technical complexity, visual refinement, and logistical efficiency, we helped our client achieve an impressive presence at two major trade fairs within a single year.
