Development of parts to facilitate the fastening of lanterns

The association ‘Cofradía Nuestra Señora la Virgen Blanca’ asked us to design, develop and manufacture a tool to facilitate the placement of their lanterns for processions. Taking into account the needs and types of elements to be fastened, we developed a tool that facilitates the coupling and ensures optimum fastening of their materials.

Project description

The Brotherhood asked us to design and develop a tool that would facilitate the placement of their lampposts and at the same time ensure a perfect fastening.

The development of the project was based on a first phase of prototyping different versions of a quick clipping system, which was presented to the company for analysis.

After the design was accepted, a study was carried out to assess the best way of manufacturing the different parts required. It was decided that the most suitable option was to manufacture them using additive printing.

Time was invested in assessing which was the most suitable material for the technical features required and it was seen that not all materials had the same response.

Once the material that met the requirements had been selected, the tools were manufactured using additive manufacturing.

The development went smoothly. We learnt techniques to improve production times, materials and additive printing.
