Why 3D Printing is Revolutionizing Model Railroading
A highly detailed freight wagon often costs €30–60 in a hobby shop. With a modern resin printer, the same wagon can often be printed for less than €1 worth of material. Once you own the printer, you can produce as many wagons as you need without waiting for deliveries or worrying about discontinued products. Ten years ago, 3D printing was slow, expensive and often disappointing. Today, affordable consumer resin printers can reproduce rivets, plank lines, brake details and lettering that rival commercial injection-molded models.
Starting in 2023, we started designing printable 3D models for the average home user. You find all available freight cars in our library. The 3D-models are available in our shop on a platform called CG Trader. You pay a low one-time fee and can then print as many freigth cars as you like for your Model Railroad.
