The whole workflow of a custom adornment
I have had several guys reach out with compliments about the custom adornments that I’ve made over the years. In fact, one guy even asked how I go about getting it done - and even how to work with a third party supplier. So I got to thinking… this would be a great blog entry! This is the journey of the creation of a custom adornment I’ve called “rivet”.
My workflow involves using a 3D modeling program such as FreeCAD, test prints to validate the design with a 3D printer, and finally the services of RapidDirect to create the final CNC machined piece. The overall time takes about a month and costs somewhere between $80 to $130 USD depending on materials.
