Real parts,
real problems solved.
Stories of technical plastic components we designed and 3D printed for our customers. No theory, only real cases: the industrial problem we started from, how we tackled it, the result.
Small batches that change every season: producing without molds
The customer makes small batches of ever-changing pool components and revises the geometries every year. An industrial mold would make no sense. With 3D printing it produces only what it needs: over 900 pieces across 18 orders, with monthly reorders.
Read the case studyCorrect batches of skimmer fittings, main drains and light flanges no longer in production
Not a single part, but three batches of 50 standard pool fittings that vanished from the market: 150 spares ready for a pool renovation project, reproduced without any mould.
Read the case studyA complete pool hydraulics set rebuilt in grey ASA
Supply, bottom return and underwater lighting: 18 discontinued hydraulic parts rebuilt in a single coordinated supply, all in grey ASA resistant to water and UV rays.
Read the case studyThe go-to supplier for custom pool spare parts
Skimmers, flanges in several sizes and bottom drains: different orders across a full year, always from the same customer, always delivered on site in about a week.
Read the case studyWhite ASA pool profiles and flanges: outdoor durability with a visible finish
A pool with custom profiles and flanges, no longer in production, to be remade while keeping both outdoor durability and the look of a white finish. We rebuilt 11 parts in white ASA and delivered them to the site in about a week.
Read the case studyThe visible jet trim, recreated identical to the original
Not a hidden mechanism, but the detail you see at the pool edge. When the jet top trim leaves the catalogue, what matters is that the new part looks perfect and identical to all the others.
Read the case studyA flange that did not exist: designed and produced by NOC for a new pool
A bespoke build was missing the right parts. Instead of forcing standard pieces, we designed an air pump flange and other components from scratch in ASA, delivered on site in about a week.
Read the case studyA coordinated set of 6 custom components to start a new pool build
On a fully bespoke build the right components simply did not exist on any catalogue. NOC designed an in-house set of 6 parts meant to work together and delivered them on site in about a week.
Read the case studyThe gadget that didn't exist: designed and produced on behalf of another company
A company that creates gadgets for other businesses had a request that no existing catalog could fulfill. We designed and printed it for them, staying behind the scenes.
Read the case study150 branded keyrings for an event, produced in a run without a mould
A gadget company needed a custom branded run for one of its clients, but it didn't exist on the market. We designed it and produced 150 pieces, quickly and with no dedicated tooling.
Read the case studyCustom golf tee markers for the club and its sponsors
A club wanted to mark the start of each hole with custom tee markers shaped after its sponsors. They were not available on the market, so we produced them in 3 variants.
Read the case studyCosmetics machinery: custom small batches, no molds
A cosmetics machinery manufacturer needed custom components in small quantities: a mold made no sense. We designed the parts and, thanks to 3D printing, slashed the start-up costs. Now it orders small batches on demand.

An industrial company needed the 3D model of one of its components for reverse engineering. With our professional 3D laser scanners we captured the geometry and delivered the digital model in two days.

The Chinese supplier missed the shipping deadline and the client had to attend Milan Design Week. We reproduced the display statue in ABS — one kilo of material, 34 hours of printing — and delivered it on time, in 48 hours.
