3D Printing in Daily Life

3D printing is one of the most commonly used methods for rapid prototyping. It turns digital files into physical parts fast—perfect for complex prototypes and significantly shortening the prototype development cycle. Beyond industrial applications, 3D printing is widely used in daily life for various fruits and vegetables.

At SG PROTOTYPE, we have helped numerous customers produce realistic models of fruits and vegetables. Now, we will introduce what we made for them by 3d printing.

Material selection for the prototypes

3D printing offered high accuracy and a smooth surface finish, perfectly capturing the textures and natural shapes. For material, we chose resin for its fine detailing capability and easy coating to enhance color saturation after painting.

Post-processing for realism

After printing, each part underwent manual polishing, painting, and clear coating. Our team applied custom paint layers to match the exact tones of real produce, achieving an authentic appearance ideal for product photography, trade shows, and packaging tests.

Result and client feedback for 3D printing in daily life

The client was delighted with the results—each prototype looked nearly indistinguishable from the real peppers. The 3D printed prototypes provided a cost-effective and reusable solution for visual marketing and design verification.  More importantly, the client's trust in us has increased even more.

See some fruit cases made by 3D printing and a series of post-processing techniques. The skin, flesh, and seed of them are all rendered with remarkable lifelike detail.
