Portfolio
At 3DEF, we create specific technical components, devices, and equipment for every need.
After more than 35 years working on the factory floor, in engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and management, we switched sides: we went from being the ones who specify, hire, and demand results to being the ones responsible for delivery.
A job may require mechanical design, machining, sheet metal fabrication, additive manufacturing, electrical work, electronics, automation, or special finishes.
At 3DEF, these different competencies are part of a single deliverable, under our responsibility.
You bring the need...
3DEF takes on the job.
Mobile Robotics
Robots have been emerging from our workbenches for quite some time now.
In 1999, we designed and manufactured, using machining, the mechanical structure of a MiroSot robot for a robotics team in Campinas, São Paulo.
The project needed to combine low weight, strength, and small dimensions, accommodating motors, wheels, and electronics in a compact package.
During the matches, cameras above the field identified the robots by their colored markings.
The vision and control system, developed by the team's owners, determined its movements without human intervention.
That was in 1999. We're not old. We're classics.
MiroSot was one of the pioneering categories of FIRA, created for robot soccer competitions. Cameras positioned above the field identified each robot by colored markings and followed the game.
The category is no longer part of current official competitions, but it is part of the early chapters of that history.
Technical Modeling
Engineering Polymer Component Design.
We specialize in the technical modeling of mechanical components intended for 3D printing in high-performance polymers, ideal replacements for parts originally produced by conventional manufacturing.
From detailed modeling and engineering calculations to functional prototypes, we deliver ready-to-produce solutions.
