A 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.

Starting point

A bespoke pool without the right parts

The customer was starting a new pool that was designed and built entirely to measure. The dimensions, the layout of the systems and the connection points did not match any standard scheme: it was a one-off project, shaped on the real needs of the site rather than on a catalogue model.

The problem appeared exactly when everything had to come together. Traditional suppliers offer components designed for standard pools, and none of them fit precisely what was needed here. Several parts were missing at once, and they all had to match one another: buying something similar and adapting it by hand would have meant forced joints, possible leaks and a building site left waiting.

Our response

Coordinated design of the whole set

The customer came to us with a problem, not with a drawing. We studied the whole site situation and understood how the different points of the system had to connect, then designed the six components in-house as a single set, meant to fit and work together.

The key point was not the individual part, but the fact that the six components were coordinated with one another: dimensions, fittings and tolerances calculated so the set would behave as one complete system. Once the design was validated we printed the parts in technical polymer, using ASA for the most exposed parts, and delivered them straight to the site.

01

Reading the problem

We started from the real needs of the site, not from a standard model: which points had to connect, with what dimensions and what constraints.

02

Designing the coordinated set

We designed the six components in-house as one unit, calculating fittings and tolerances so they would match each other perfectly.

03

Printing and on-site delivery

With the design validated, we printed the parts in technical polymer (ASA for the exposed parts) and brought them to the site ready to install.

Timing

From problem to site in about a week

Between studying the solution, designing the set in-house and printing it, we delivered the six components on site in about a week, in May 2025: a turnaround that searching for custom parts through traditional suppliers would have stretched far longer, assuming those parts existed at all.

Outcome

What the customer gained

  • A set of 6 custom components that no catalogue offered, ready for his specific pool.
  • Parts coordinated with one another: no forced joints or manual adaptations, everything designed to fit.
  • The site moving again in about a week, with no long wait to source the components.
  • Exposed parts printed in ASA, made to withstand the outdoor pool environment.
The customer didn't bring us a drawing, he brought us a problem: a bespoke pool with no right parts. We designed the whole set so it would work as a single system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring you a technical drawing of the components?

No. In this case the customer brought us only the problem. We study the site situation and design the parts in-house: we take care of the drawing.

Can you design several components that work together?

Yes. Here we designed a set of six coordinated parts, with fittings and tolerances calculated so they would match and work as one system.

Do the components withstand a pool environment?

We print the most exposed parts in ASA, a technical polymer suited to outdoor use and to contact with the pool environment.

Your next case

Building something bespoke without the right parts?

Bring us the problem, no drawing needed. We design the components you are missing in-house, even an entire coordinated set, and print them ready to install.
