FDM & SLA 3D printing
Tough functional parts in filament, fine detail and smooth surfaces in resin. Large objects are printed in segments and joined accurately.
- Prototypes and one-offs
- Small batches
- Large format in segments

From spare parts to life-size figures.
I scan, design and 3D-print parts using FDM and SLA – functional, dimensionally accurate and fully painted on request. Based in Simmozheim near Stuttgart.

Scan, design, print, finish.
Whether it’s a single spare part, a prototype or a large showpiece: I take care of the whole journey, or just the step you’re missing.
3D scanning & reverse engineering
No spare part, no drawing? I scan the original, scale the scan to size and rebuild the part as a clean CAD model – even if it’s broken.
- Photogrammetry scanning
- Scaled from measured reference dimensions
- Replacements for discontinued parts
CAD design
From sketch, photo or scan to a print-ready model – with the right wall thickness, tolerances and joints such as magnets, screws or clips.
- Designed for printing
- Brackets, jigs and templates
- Delivered as STEP or STL
Post-processing & finishing
Filling, sanding, priming and painting – right through to metallic and weathering effects. Where parts need to take more, I reinforce them with glass-fibre mat.
- Paint and effects
- Glass-fibre reinforcement
- Bonding and assembly

Work that shows what’s possible.
Scan & reverse engineering
Spare part from a scan: engine‑bay fan shroud
Broken, no drawing, no replacement available – scanned, redesigned as a CAD model and printed with glass-fibre reinforcement.
Large format
Life-size display mannequin
A life-size male figure for the Hamburg sports brand TD – printed in segments, magnetically detachable and finished in metallic paint.
Functional parts
Functional parts for mountain bikes
SLA-printed handguards, brackets for add-ons and a bike-computer mount – tested on the trail.
Scan & reverse engineering
3D scan & enlarged replica of a cane head
Starting from a hand-painted steampunk cane head: scanned, digitally prepared and reprinted at a larger scale.
How a project works.
From the first message to handover you deal with the same person. That keeps decisions quick and changes easy.
-
Enquiry
Photos, a sketch, a file (STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF) or the original part – plus a short note on what it’s for.
-
Advice & quote
I recommend a process and material and give you a price and a date before anything is printed.
-
Prototype
If needed, a first part to test, fit or try on. If something isn’t right yet, I change the model.
-
Production & finish
The finished part – post-processed, painted or reinforced on request.
-
Handover
Collect it in person in Simmozheim or have it shipped – with the CAD files if you want them.
The right material for your application.
Not sure what fits? Tell me where and how the part will be used – I’ll advise you.
- PLA
- Stiff and holds fine detail well – ideal for models, props and prototypes.
- PETG
- Tough and impact-resistant – for functional parts, brackets and housings.
- TPU
- Flexible and rubber-like – for dampers, bumpers, grips and protective parts.
- PP-CF / PP-GF
- Polypropylene with carbon or glass fibre – light, stiff and chemical-resistant for technical parts.
- SLA resin
- Extremely fine detail and smooth surfaces – for engravings, delicate pieces and precision parts.
About
Who’s behind Strakt.
I’m Mechi. I’ve been printing with filament and resin since 2017, in small and large formats. The results include everyday functional parts, technical spare parts, costumes, props and even a life-size figure.
I know which material suits which job, how to design parts for printing – and how to turn a raw print into a finished component. If a part is too complex to measure by hand, I scan it; if there’s no file, I design one.
Why Strakt? In German car design, “Strak” is the word for a perfectly faired, flowing surface – no dents, no steps. That’s the standard I hold every part to: layer by layer, until it’s right.

Good to know.
What files do you need?
STL, STEP, OBJ or 3MF files are ideal. No file? Photos with a few measurements, a sketch or the original part are often enough – then I design or scan it.
What does a part cost?
That depends on size, material, quantity and finishing. Send me your enquiry and you’ll get a free quote first – with no obligation.
How fast can you deliver?
That depends on size, process and finishing. I’ll give you a realistic date with the quote – if you have a fixed deadline, mention it in your enquiry.
How large can parts be?
Objects larger than the build volume are printed in segments and joined by gluing or magnets – up to a life-size figure.
Can you replicate a broken part?
Yes – the engine-bay fan shroud is one example. I scan the part, rebuild missing or broken areas in CAD and print it again in a suitable material – reinforced on request.
Do you work for private customers too?
Yes. I work for businesses and private individuals alike – from a single spare part to a fully painted showpiece.
Got a project in mind?
Need a part you can’t simply buy?
Send me photos, a sketch or a file. You’ll get an honest assessment and a free quote – no obligation.
