Have you heard of them? They mostly do 3D prints of static model parts and do them in a variety of scales. I'm waiting to here back from TDR to see if they could do 1/64 scale. Currently they have the latest Pro Stocks; Dodge Dart, Ford Mustang and are currently working on a Chevy Camaro. Below are examples of their work done up as 1/25 slot drag cars. From what I know it sounds like they don't print in shop. They send their file to a high resolution 3D print shop to have the part or body made. The pictures speak for themselves, these would be awesome in our scale.
you can get to their new link from here. I only posted the old link so you could view more of their work.

I did get a response and they can print them out in 1/64 scale. The price is reasonable but he said that it would have to be printed in their most brittle material due to the small detail.
Here are their bodies being offered.

waiting to hear back about the Chevelle being available in one piece yet before I place an order. Stay tuned for a review of these bodies.

Those are sweet. If their 3d material is anything like SHAPEWAYS' it's thin but not bad. I bought a 1/64 1970's dirt late model from Shapeways and its pretty durable.

that's good to hear. It is shapeway's. TDR has set up the P/S Mustang and the 2015 P/M Camaro in a 1/64 file. They are available now. I ordered both of them and will let you guys know what I think. They will add additional 1/64 files for the rest of the line up as time allows.

Well the new drug has been ingested, I ordered the mustang and the Camaro. I have a bad feeling I'm gonna be ordering more stuff from these guys.

I'm with you Steve, I'm glad they were willing to make 1/64 scale files. Hopefully the rest of their line up will be available soon.
You can buy them for $16 each plus shipping however Tim from TDR suggested I spend the extra $4 to get the finer detail option (frosted plastic).
I imagine in the not too distant future you'll be able to buy the files and print them out yourself or have it printed out locally, Staples now has some stores with 3D printing services.

I just bought a printer and those files would be the first thing I would print!

The 2 bodies I purchased arrived yesterday. My first thought when I opened them was that these were really thin and look brittle. The detail is amazing on them. I wouldn't suggest buying these unless you have a long enough shutdown area so that impacts are not an issue. Not knowing what to expect and taking a gamble when I ordered them I knew I could still work with them by molding and casting them, when there's a will there's a way  . The Mustang and Camaro are also a little too narrow. The Camaro WB (wheel base) fits a 4G chassis at it's longest WB setting. The Mustang fits the LWB setting on a Super G. My next step is to make resin castings and modifying them by making them a little thicker and wider. These are some great looking bodies and maybe TDR can modify their file by widening and making them thicker? If I order anymore, I'll ask them if that is possible.

do they have that slight "alligator" surface texture?
some of the composites are very tough and flexible and will survive impact better than you would think.
thank you for your preview and I am looking forward to your results.

it is slightly textured and does have some flex. I cracked the corner of the rear quarter panel on the Stang earlier when I was filling it with clay, nothing major though.

Hi everyone I am new here and my hobby shop getting into Drag Racing and they will be putting up a track soon. I looking for cars this detailed in 1/64 scale but I want to use a Mega G chassis I just need to get the armature cut down to fit. So what I am getting at is I like to buy some detailed bodies like this that will clip on to that chassis. If anyone can help let me know. |
