Enclosures for refrigeration controllers
- Problem
- A supermarket chain in the country ran its refrigeration equipment on controllers whose original enclosures were damaged — and the manufacturer no longer offers the spare. The equipment works; what was falling apart was its body. Replacing entire controllers over a broken enclosure was not a reasonable option.
- Build
- We scanned an original enclosure with a 3D scanner, repaired the model digitally, and printed corrected replicas in ABS. Fifteen units, at roughly three days of printing per piece.
- Result
- All fifteen enclosures are installed and the controllers remain in operation. The spare part the manufacturer no longer makes now exists again.
