Case Studies

At the beginning of 2016, many people were writing about the end of Moore’s Law, anticipating that the performance of computer chips would no longer be doubling every two years.

A 35 yr old male patient presented to Dr. Suman Byregowda, Ortho-Onco Surgeon, Narayana, Hrudayalaya, India, with complaints of 20 cm mass in gluteal region for the past 4 years. He could not sleep or sit because of swelling.

Overview We were set on a journey to think outside the box when it came to tireless cars that can fly. With this transportation design project, we put together an amazingly detailed futuristic concept car through 3D printing.  

We can observe finer details in the printed parts, identify design errors earlier and ensure best-in-class products for our customers in half the time and cost.

3D printing has become an indispensable tool for enlightening young minds to invent, explore and to innovate the next breakthrough. This technology aids the learning process significantly.

Premium produces high-quality gearboxes, geared motors, fluid couplings and other machinery components in four manufacturing plants across India, and serves the global engineering industry, particularly in Australia, South Africa, Middle East Asia, North America and Europe.

Challenge
A patient suffering from advanced renal cancer needed to undergo a complex and delicate surgical procedure. This required the removal of a tumor that was present in the upper cortex of the kidney and even a slight miscalculation could lead to complete renal failure. This could only be done with the help of an exact model of the kidney that segmented crucial veins and arteries. The doctors approached Imaginarium to collaborate with them to create the model.

Recreating history: A walk to remember

Challenge
The responsibilities involved printing statues of all 80 marchers in different sizes and materials, to be used as a memento, or placed in the museums dedicated to the march. All the statues had to be miniaturised so as to be able to be put in the frame. With a requirement of high details on the faces and the delicacy of the statues, it was not possible to manufacture them using traditional casting processes. This challenge was now presented to imaginarium.

Giving life to a forgotten technology: Bringing back memories from the future

Challenge
For Ogilvy & Mather to execute an advertisement for Madhya Pradesh Tourism, conceptualised by Hungry Films, the challenges were many. Tin, spring wound toys are no longer created, especially for such a customised and detailed requirement. No manufacturer was ready to adjust their production to accommodate the production of a small number of individual pieces with a high level of precision in a short span of time. The material in which the toys were to be created needed to be suitable for post processing. This case, with such intense requirements was presented to Imaginarium to bring in a futuristic solution.
