Customer Case Study
Miniature Masterpiece Design Powered by Solidscape
“The quality of parts we can create using the
Solidscape 3D printer are beyond what we could
previously achieve with other AM systems, CNC
machining and even skilled handwork.”
Christian Müller CEO – Horbach, GmbH

In its day the 1931 Bentley Blower 4.5L LeMans was a head-turner. A beautiful, rare state-of-the-art
automotive design that exemplified grace, craftsmanship and precision.
Nine decades later, it is still a head-turner. Only this time the Bentley
Blower is reborn as a 1:5 scale model created by modern Misko
Models craftsmen utilizing state-of-the-art CAD design and the
precision of a Solidscape 3D printer.

Misko Models creates
precision car models for
discerning collectors with a
passion for perfection.

Casting for critical components was undertaken by Horbach GmbH
based from models created on Solidscape machines. Precision was of
paramount importance for the model’s many moving parts such as
workable brakes, clutch, choke and adjustable ignition.
Christian Müller CEO at Horbach explained: “We do a lot of work
now for Misko, and the capability of the Solidscape machine for use
with the lost-wax casting process is central to that,” states Christian.
“We have cast from aluminum, brass, bronze, nickel and silver from
the wax cores, all with excellent surface finish and accuracy. We
believe that the quality of the parts is now the best in the world. “
“This stunning Bentley model was a huge hit at the Euromold show in
Frankfurt, Germany,” states Fabio Esposito, VP, Worldwide Sales and
Marketing at Solidscape. “It is a fitting example of how when
precision counts, top professionals count on Solidscape.”
