Our creative process consists of three buiding blocks
The initial phase begins with an idea or concept that is translated into a digital design using 3D modeling software. At this stage, our design team experiments with different shapes, structures, and functionalities, visualizing the final product before physical production.
A detailed 3D model is created to adjust dimensions, add intricate details, and test different configurations.
The digital model is reviewed and adjusted as necessary. This iterative process allows for the design to be perfected before moving on to production and for client validation.
Virtual assembly tests and tolerance verifications can be conducted to ensure all parts fit together perfectly.
The advantage of designing in 3D is that it allows us to make real-time changes and be capable of reacting with very tight deliveries without design limitations.
A 3D scanner is used to capture the geometry of the object.
The scan data is imported into 3D processing software, where different captures are aligned and merged to create a complete digital model.
Errors and noise from the scan are removed, and any gaps in the mesh are filled to obtain an accurate representation of the original object.

The wide variety of materials available for 3D printing makes production a viable option for custom projects. The choice of material depends on the desired properties of the final object, such as its strength, flexibility, or aesthetic appearance.
The 3D printer follows the instructions from the slicing software to construct the object layer by layer. Depending on the technology used, this can involve the extrusion of plastic filament (FDM) or the solidification of liquid resin using UV light (SLA).
This process can take from a few hours to several days, depending on the size and complexity of the object.
After printing, the object may require post-processing, which can include removing supports, sanding, and painting. Post-processing enhances the appearance and functionality of the object, bringing it to its final state.
Enables the creation of unique, personalized objects tailored to the specific needs of each project.
Reduces production time compared to traditional methods, allowing for rapid iteration and prototype development.
Offers great flexibility in design and material selection, opening up a range of creative and functional possibilities. In summary, digital design and 3D printing together form an innovative process that transforms ideas into reality efficiently and effectively, providing high-quality, customized solutions for a wide range of applications.
At Atrezzo mannequins, we have four methods for digital production that incorporate these three ways of working.
Digital design takes our possibilities to the next level with 3D printing. The wide variety of materials make production a viable option for custom projects.
Implementing 3D scanning in the design stage transforms a real-life figure into a realistic mannequin with a unique likeness and gesture.
In summary, integrating 3D scanning into the design and 3D printing process allows for the accurate capture and replication of real objects, offering detailed and customized solutions for a wide range of applications.
Scanning a real-life model for inspiration is the perfect complement to give a special touch to our collections. Adjustments and modifications are done digitally on the design to match molding needs.
In summary, integrating 3D scanning into the mold design and production process enhances the ability to capture and replicate real-life objects with precision and customization, providing unique and high-quality solutions for various applications.
Digital design meets production molding for both internal and customized collections. After 3D printing, this will be turned into a master part for molding.
In summary, the integration of digital design with the molding process enables efficient and personalized production, ensuring quality and precision at every stage of the process.
