Large-Format Giraffe Sculpture - Fabricated for Assembly and Installation

Client: Confidential
Industry: Interior / Custom Display Fabrication
Service: Large-Format Additive Manufacturing • Sculptural Fabrication • Assembly Planning • Finishing Support

Project Overview

Printhoek 3D was commissioned to fabricate a large-format giraffe sculpture for an interior installation.

The project required translating a complex sculptural form into a physically stable, manufacturable object at scale. At this size, small decisions become critical. Wall thickness, segmentation, internal structure, joint alignment, handling, and finishing strategy all affect whether the final piece can be produced, assembled, moved, and installed successfully.

PH3D planned the sculpture as a segmented fabrication rather than a single printed object. Each section had to support the final build, align correctly during assembly, and preserve surface continuity across visible joins.

The real test came after fabrication. Once installed, the sculpture had to hold its presence, integrity, and visual intent in the environment it was designed for.

Highlights

  • Large-format sculptural fabrication
  • Complex form prepared for manufacturable segmentation
  • Internal support and wall thickness considered from the start
  • Joint alignment planned for assembly and finishing
  • Surface continuity maintained across assembled sections

Client: Rent-A-Drum
Industry: Waste Management & Mining Services
Service: Custom Product Design • Additive Manufacturing • Branding • Medium-Batch Production

Project Overview

Rent-A-Drum required specialised gifts for stakeholders attending the Mining Expo. Rather than using conventional promotional merchandise, the company wanted the gifts to represent its refuse-removal services and equipment.

Printhoek3D developed a custom miniature skip truck featuring Rent-A-Drum’s branding. The model incorporates the truck cab, wheels, skip-loading structure and removable-waste-container geometry as a detailed, recognisable representation of the company’s operations.

The truck was designed as a digital asset specifically for Rent-A-Drum. This means the design can be manufactured again for future events or stakeholder requirements without restarting the development process.

Traditional manufacturing could produce a similar item, but tooling and setup costs would be difficult to justify at the required quantities. Additive manufacturing made customised medium-volume production commercially practical while allowing the branding, colours and equipment details to remain specific to the client.
