The demand for unique, high-quality corporate awards and architectural souvenirs in Saudi Arabia, particularly in vibrant cities like Jeddah, is growing. This project highlights a bespoke manufacturing process that combines cutting-edge 3D printing technology with premium materials to create stunning, lasting mementos.
The Customization Journey: From STL File to Finished Trophy
Every great award begins with a precise vision. For our Jeddah client, this journey started with a detailed design file in the STL format, which is the standard language for 3D printing.
Design Precision: Using the client-provided STL model, the design was translated into a physical object with meticulous accuracy, ensuring every architectural detail, like the intricate gold-textured patterns, was captured.
Material Choice: The core material for the award’s main body is stainless steel. This choice guarantees exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and a superior foundation for the final finish.
Advanced Manufacturing: The stainless steel components were brought to life using metal 3D printing. This additive manufacturing technique is ideal for complex geometries and ensures minimal material waste while delivering high structural integrity.
The Finishing Process: Polishing, Plating, and Assembly
Once the stainless steel “blanks” were printed, a rigorous post-processing workflow was initiated to achieve the premium, luxurious look evident in the final products (as seen in the accompanying images and videos).
Polishing: The 3D printed parts underwent extensive polishing to smooth the surfaces, removing any residual print marks and preparing them for a flawless final finish.
Electroplating: The polished metal components were then expertly electroplated in a gold finish. This is what gives the awards their radiant, eye-catching gleam and high-end aesthetic.
Assembly: The final stage involved the careful assembly of all components onto the custom base.
The Premium Base: Real Solid Wood
A truly premium award requires a base that matches the quality of the trophy itself. A crucial feature of this custom order is the solid wood base.
Quality Base Material: Unlike lower-cost alternatives like MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard), these bases are crafted from real, solid wood. This provides a substantial, high-quality feel and a natural, elegant grain.
Deep Red Finish: The base features a deep, rich red finish, which provides a striking and culturally significant contrast to the brilliant gold metalwork, enhancing the overall presentation.
Custom Embellishment: Both the square and triangular-shaped awards incorporate customized metal embellishments on the base, which are likely designed to feature engraved text, logos, or Arabic calligraphy, as is customary for prestigious awards.
