Outdoor Light Lens Replication
A lighting company came to Zager3d in need of duplicating a light cover that was used on a sign at a shopping mall. The new covers needed to withstand the outdoors as well as cover an existing light.
The original part was measured and replicated in CAD. The design was modified to make it printable as well strong. Plastic parts have to be thicker than metal parts.
The parts were printed in ASA which allows for them to withstand outdoor heat and cold as well as sunlight. The parts were glued together with steel pins and braced on the inside. The parts were sanded and the gaps were filled with an outdoor polyester filler. Finally the parts were painted by the client with automotive paint.

A second light lens was also produced using the same process. It used printed inserts to create the black X's.
