Our Fantasy Football Inspired ＂CAD of the Month＂

Our office true-to-size trophy was designed and optimized for the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing process. Sean noted, “The SLS process gives a natural finish which is great in a way that it matches a lot of the texture a real football might have!” We took extra time and effort to finish this sought-after trophy. Our trophy’s logo was plated in a bronze patina to really make it pop, and then the logo and laces were also sanded for a smoother finish. You can choose from a variety of finishing options like these that we offer on our instant quoting platform for your own custom parts!

We were so excited about this finished design that we knew we had to share a fun-sized version with all of you in the spirit of the football season!

Now, we’re kicking it over to you – we’ve revamped our big trophy into a fun desktop accessory size CAD file. This fun-sized version is also optimized with SLS nylon in mind, which our team designed using our SLS Design Guide.

Simply download this Xometry fantasy football CAD of the month file and customize by adding your own winning team, logo, or name on the shield in SOLIDWORKS or other CAD design software. Then you could scale the trophy up to be as big as our office's version, add your team name, logo, or #1! Upload your CAD to Xometry and choose from numerous material and surface finish options, and more – the choices are endless! You can even nickel-plate the design to achieve a similar eye-catching finish as our office's true-to-size trophy. Here are some ideas for customizing the design:
