3D printing of furniture and custom products

3D Printing of Furniture and Custom Products

CC Metall AB plans to launch a new service for large-format 3D printing of furniture, interior details, prototypes and custom products.

The service is currently under development, with a planned launch during 2027. We are already accepting expressions of interest from companies, designers, architects, furniture manufacturers and private individuals who would like to use 3D printing for future projects.

What is 3D printing of furniture?

3D printing of furniture means that a digital 3D model is built up layer by layer in a larger 3D printer. The technology makes it possible to manufacture shapes and structures that may be complicated, time-consuming or expensive to produce using traditional manufacturing methods.

Large-format 3D printing can be used to manufacture chairs, stools, tables, benches, shelves, lamps, interior details and artistic objects directly from a digital model.

The technology is particularly suitable for custom-designed products, prototypes, small production runs and furniture that needs to be adapted to specific dimensions, a particular location or an architectural concept.

Planned 3D printing services

CC Metall AB plans to offer assistance with:

  • 3D printing of furniture

  • 3D-printed chairs, tables, stools and benches

  • custom-made interior products

  • prototypes for furniture production

  • models for architects and designers

  • small production runs

  • unique products for private individuals

  • 3D printing from a completed CAD file

  • development of a sketch or idea into a printable 3D model

  • adaptation and inspection of existing 3D files

  • production of moulds, templates and special tools

The final range of services will be adapted to the selected 3D printer, available materials and the maximum printing dimensions chosen before the service is launched.

3D-printed furniture based on your own design

One of the main advantages of 3D printing is the ability to manufacture furniture with a unique shape and an individual appearance.

The customer can provide a completed 3D model, a drawing, a sketch, a photograph or a basic idea. CC Metall AB can then help develop the material into a digital model adapted for 3D printing.

The furniture can, for example, be adapted according to:

  • required external dimensions

  • seat height and ergonomics

  • intended use

  • placement in a particular room

  • shape and design

  • weight and material consumption

  • strength and stability

  • the possibility of assembly or joining

  • combination with wood, metal, glass or other materials

All products need to be assessed based on their intended use and expected load. Furniture intended for human use must be designed with consideration for stability, strength, material properties and safety.

3D printing for companies

The planned service is intended for companies that need to develop prototypes, custom products or small production runs without first investing in moulds and traditional manufacturing tools.

The service may be suitable for:

  • furniture manufacturers

  • architectural practices

  • interior design companies

  • industrial designers

  • product developers

  • shops and restaurants

  • hotels and property companies

  • construction companies

  • artists

  • event and exhibition companies

3D printing can be used both to evaluate a new product before series production and to manufacture the finished product in smaller quantities.

3D printing for private individuals

Private individuals will also be able to submit their own ideas, sketches or digital models.

Examples may include:

  • a custom-made piece of furniture

  • a unique chair or stool

  • a small table

  • a shelf adapted to a particular space

  • a decorative interior detail

  • a replacement part that is no longer available

  • a prototype of a personal product idea

  • a personalised gift or design product

Before production begins, we review the product’s dimensions, intended use, material, construction and required finish.

From idea to finished 3D-printed product

The planned workflow will consist of the following steps:

1. The customer submits the project information

The material may consist of a completed 3D file, a drawing, a hand-drawn sketch, photographs, dimensions or a description of the product to be manufactured.

2. Project review

CC Metall AB reviews the product’s dimensions, shape, intended use and technical requirements. We also assess whether the product needs to be divided into several printable parts.

3. Creation or adaptation of the 3D model

If the customer does not have a completed model, we can help create digital CAD documentation. Existing models may also need to be checked and adapted for the selected printer and manufacturing method.

4. Price and production proposal

The customer receives information about estimated material consumption, printing time, any required modelling work, post-processing and price.

5. Approval

The customer is given the opportunity to review and approve the model before production begins.

6. 3D printing and post-processing

The product is printed and processed as required. Post-processing may include cleaning, joining, sanding or preparation for surface finishing.

7. Delivery

The finished product can be collected or shipped to the customer depending on its size, weight and delivery address.

Which file formats can be used?

The exact file formats will be determined once the production equipment has been selected.

Common file formats for 3D printing and product development include:

  • STL

  • STEP

  • OBJ

  • 3MF

  • IGES

  • DWG

  • DXF

A file is not automatically ready for printing simply because it has been created as a 3D model. The model may need to be checked for wall thickness, geometry, tolerances, joints, stability and print orientation.

Materials for 3D-printed furniture

The materials that will be offered depend on the 3D printer and printing system selected.

Large-format 3D printing can use different types of thermoplastics, recycled materials and fibre-reinforced materials. The material must be selected according to the product’s intended use, expected load, placement and desired appearance.

Information about available materials, colours, properties and surface treatments will be published before the launch.

How much does 3D printing cost?

The cost of 3D printing depends on factors including:

  • product size

  • material consumption

  • printing time

  • choice of material

  • model complexity

  • need for support material

  • whether the product needs to be divided into several parts

  • CAD work and product development

  • post-processing

  • number of products

Fixed prices and price examples will be published once the equipment has been installed and the service has been tested.

When will the service be launched?

CC Metall AB plans to launch its large-format 3D printing service during 2027.

This page will be updated when more information is available about the printer, materials, maximum printing dimensions, prices and delivery times.

Companies and private individuals can already submit an expression of interest and describe the type of product or piece of furniture they would like to have 3D printed.

Frequently asked questions about 3D printing

Can you 3D print an entire piece of furniture?

That is the objective of the planned service. Whether an entire piece of furniture can be printed in one piece depends on the size of the furniture and the build volume of the selected 3D printer. Larger products may need to be divided into several parts and assembled after printing.

Can you create the 3D model for me?

Yes. CC Metall AB plans to offer CAD modelling and product development based on sketches, photographs, drawings, dimensions and ideas.

Can I submit my own 3D file?

Yes. The file will need to be reviewed and checked before it can be approved for production.

Can companies order small production runs?

Yes. The service is planned for both individual prototypes and small production runs. Price and production capacity will depend on the product’s size, material and printing time.

Will you offer 3D printing to private individuals?

Yes. The planned service will be available to both companies and private individuals.

Can 3D-printed parts be combined with metal or wood?

Yes. A 3D-printed product can be designed to be combined with steel, aluminium, wood, glass, bolted connections or other components.

Where is CC Metall AB located?

CC Metall AB is based in Gränna, Jönköping County, Sweden. CAD work and project planning can be carried out digitally for customers throughout Sweden and the rest of Europe. Shipping options for finished products will be assessed based on the product’s size and weight.
