Prototype sink in 3D printing

This 3D printed sink prototype was produced by PAMI3D in white PLA filament, at full scale: left raw after printing, with only the supports removed, it lets you check shapes, dimensions, assembly and visual impact before tooling. Made in France (Bonson, Loire). Free quote within 24 to 48 hours.

Sanitaryware manufacturers: validating a design before the mould

The need: a shape defect discovered after tooling is expensive.
The PAMI3D prototype: a sink printed from your STEP/STL file to check shapes, dimensions, fixing clearances and visual rendering โ€” and to correct the file before production.

Designers and interior architects: picturing it in the space

The need: presenting a bespoke basin or sink to a client who does not read plans.
The PAMI3D prototype: a full-scale prototype placed on the worktop: the client sees the real volume. Sanding, priming and painting are possible with our professional finishes.

Unsure about the style? Start small

The need: the design is not finalised yet.
The PAMI3D prototype: a miniature prototype lets you check the style before printing at full size, then launch the full-scale version from a validated file.

Why a 3D printed sink prototype?

Bowl shapes, radii and rims are reproduced directly from the file, with no mould. The raw prototype is often enough to validate the shape; a finish brings it closer to the final look for a presentation.

3D sink prototype: your questions answered

Is the prototype watertight?

In its raw state, an FDM printed part has a slight porosity. It is first used to validate the shape; a primer and varnish finish can be considered in the quote depending on the intended use.

Can the design be changed after printing?

Touch-ups are limited: for a significant change, we modify the file and reprint. Hence the value of a miniature prototype when the style is not yet settled.

What is the maximum size?

Up to 110ร—110ร—170 cm in a single piece; beyond that, printing in several assembled parts.

What budget and lead time should I plan for?
