Projects
Seven projects in which a drawing, logo or reference became something you can hold, put down or put to use. Each one lists what Vectra3D did and what it delivered.
Hofmarkgraven: fourteen homes, one shared model
A collective private commission: fourteen individually owned homes on one plot. The future residents only had the architect's 2D drawings, and those do not tell you how a house will feel: how high a room is, where the light falls, how the stairs run.
Vectra3D built the whole project in Rhino 3D: first the complete development of fourteen homes, then usable images per home. For house 12 a set was made room by room (living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, office, walk-in wardrobe, terrace and toilet) with a walkthrough video and a brochure.
After the visualisation job the model proved useful for more. For house 2 a physical scale model was made with removable floors, interior walls, stairs, kitchen and furniture, so a single home can be viewed and presented on its own.
- Complete 3D model of the fourteen-home development, based on the architect's drawings.
- An image per room, so residents could judge colour, layout and lighting before construction began.
- A walkthrough video per home for anyone who cannot read a floor plan.
- Printed scale model of house 2 with separate floors and interior.
Sibs Seltzer: a display that stands out
On a busy bar, cans disappear between the taps, bottles, glasses and beer mats. Sibs Seltzer needed an object that keeps both flavours visible and shows the brand name, without taking up much counter space.
Vectra3D designed a white counter display with two lit bases that hold the cans, a lit front with logo and slogan, and blue light accents on either side of the panel. The housing is built so the lighting, connectors and wiring fit inside it.
The project ran from concept visualisation and variant studies to a printed and assembled unit, which was then photographed on the bar it was made for.
- From concept visualisation to a physical unit standing on the bar.
- Lighting and connectors integrated into the housing, not added on.
- One internal circuit for all the display's electronics.
- Styling matched to the existing brand identity: white with dark blue accents.
Keychains that point to a link
An ordinary promotional item shows a logo but takes nobody anywhere. These keychains carry the logo or the name in the product itself, plus an NFC tag that sends a phone to the chosen destination.
A logo, name or text is turned into printable geometry and printed in the chosen colours. The print is paused, the tag goes into the recess left for it, and the print continues, so the tag is sealed in permanently and not glued on.
The link can be chosen per piece: a website, contact page, digital card, menu, review page or campaign. The same model can be adapted per client, from a single piece to a small run.
- Logos and names turned into makeable geometry, including the recess for the tag.
- Multiple colours in one print, and versions that glow in the dark.
- NFC tag sealed in during the print, with no glue or loose parts.
- Every design stays reusable for a next series or another client.
Bases and shades you can swap
The studio's own family of lamps in which shade and base are separate: bases exist in wall, table and pendant versions, and the shades can be swapped. That turns one design into a system: you buy a base once and can keep changing shades.
The shades have a twisted, wavy geometry that scatters the light without a hard edge. The joint between base and shade was reprinted and tested several times, until the fit felt solid and could still be swapped by hand.
The collection is the studio's own design and is at the prototype stage. No lamps are sold yet, so this page shows no prices: material heat, mounting and safety have to be right before a light product goes out.
- One design language across three versions, built around a swappable shade.
- Joints reprinted again and again until fit and strength were right.
- Geometry that spreads warm light evenly and does not let it through as a spot.
- Deliberately not for sale yet: safety and material behaviour are being finished first.
Elegance in 3D: seventeen vases
The studio's own collection of printed vases, gathered in a brochure. The shapes run from tightly ribbed to twisted and scaled, and each vase has a name that fits its lines.
Pirouette turns like a ballet step, Cadence repeats one rhythm at two heights, Symbiosis is two halves leaning on each other and Flora is built up in layers like petals. The other thirteen are Monde, Calla, Drift, Zenith, Antiquity, Lyra, Rhythm, Amphora, Meridian, Tulle, Pangolin, Ignis and Brio.
Beta RR 50: 1:10, printed in full
A motorcycle has no straight lines and no flat panels, and at 1:10 every detail gets small enough that you have to think about how to print it. This is a personal project: a fully printed replica of a Beta RR 50 Track at 1:10.
Frame, wheels, bodywork, exhaust and details were each modelled in Rhino 3D from reference material. The model was then split into parts that can be printed, fitted and mounted separately, and printed in several colours into one model.
This project shows what a complete detail model takes: interpreting references, splitting parts, controlling tolerances at small scale and making it all come together as one piece. The same route applies to an architectural model, a product or a display.
- A complex vehicle split into parts that can be printed and fitted separately.
- Reference geometry turned into a coherent model at 1:10.
- Multiple colours in the print, with no painting afterwards.
- Made as a personal project, not commissioned by the manufacturer or a client.
Christmas market 2025: a stall full of prints
In 2025 Vectra3D took a stall at a Christmas market for the first time. In the months before, seasonal and trending 3D-print models were selected and printed ahead, so the stall could open with a broad, well-stocked table.
The assortment ran from Christmas ornaments, tree toppers and small figures to fidgets, magnets, vases, earrings and keychains. The stall's own hardware was printed too: price-card holders, payment signs, clamps, display hooks and stands.
A market is direct selling to people, many of whom are new to 3D printing, and it means planning production against a fixed date rather than a client's deadline.
- Production planned months ahead of a fixed date.
- A broad assortment of small products in many colours.
- Price holders, signs and stands designed and printed for the stall.
