Build Examples

All parts shown were built on our own in-house machine. If any of these look like your part, get in touch — new examples are added regularly.

01 Internal channels and hollow structures

Build example: LEAP manifold

LEAP manifold

Numerous intersecting channels built as one piece. Teardrop-shaped openings eliminate the need for supports.

  • Internal channels
  • Support-free design
Build example: Combination manifold

Combination manifold

Hollow structure for air or water flow; used as a two-part assembly.
