Decorative Art

From unique home fixtures and fittings to film props, ExOne® 3D sand and metal printers can be leveraged to bring custom designs to life. ExOne partners with industrial distributors of art and decorative products to produce custom finished products that fuse imagination and technology.

Metal and Sand 3D Printing Provides Infinite Freedom to Innovate and Create

Plumbing fixture and decorative hardware manufacturers, 3D printing service bureaus and major online retailers, conceptual artists, small business owners and even art and engineering students rely on ExOne technology to eliminate traditional manufacturing constraints so they can conceive and construct innovative new designs. A replacement for welding, stamping, casting, sculpting, CNC and other traditional methods, 3D printing is driving creativity forward by reducing turnaround time and costs while advocating for innovations in form and aesthetics as well as function.

With 3D printing, industrial designers and artists enjoy virtually unlimited freedom to develop creations too intricate or expensive to produce under other methods. Our customers leverage direct metal 3D printing or printed sand molds for casting to fabricate designs quickly and economically. The technology is ideal for small quantities, multiple individually customized items, or even a single piece, and parts can be ordered on demand.

Diverse Clients Rely on 3D Printing for Flexibility, Low Cost & Fast Production

With a short lead time and the ability to develop full-form parts from a design file, 3D metal printing has supported a number of artists and designers as they bring their dreams to reality. Additive manufacturing is capable of a geometric complexity unachievable with conventional manufacturing methods. Manufacturing a single-piece strainer plate would typically be a complex process, but with digital part materialization, ExOne can create a finished product with unique patterns and properties in less time and at less cost.

Sand 3D Printers Create Cores and Molds for Fixtures, Fittings and Decorative Pieces

Kitchen and bath fittings and fixture manufacturers have taken advantage of the economies of 3D printing to fast-track production of prototypes and rapidly manufacture cores. Printed form sand cores, have been used to develop brass castings for water faucets and complex elements such as mixer housings and shower arms with reduced time and cost. 3D Printed molds can be generated from even the most intricate design file, for a variety of casting materials. This makes 3D sand printing an ideal way to produce identical décor, artwork, trophies, souvenirs, props, statues and more.
