Custom Scale Vehicle Modeling & Print-Ready STL Development • Freiberufler

Jul 2021 - Present • 4 yrs 10 mos

I work as a freelance 3D vehicle modeler specializing in hard-surface modeling and print-ready STL design for scale vehicle models. My work focuses on creating accurate, clean, and optimized models for collectors, hobbyists, and manufacturers who produce scale models through resin and FDM 3D printing. My workflow emphasizes precision modeling, proper scale accuracy, and geometry optimization to ensure that models print reliably without common issues such as non-manifold geometry, thin walls, or problematic overhangs. Projects typically involve converting reference photos, blueprints, or existing digital models into high-quality printable assets suitable for scale model production.

Hood Cab STL Modification Project • Freiberufler

Feb 2026 - Feb 2026 • 0 mos

Another technical project involved repairing and modifying an existing Hood Cab STL model for improved printability and compatibility. The client already had a digital model but required significant adjustments to make it usable for scale model production. My role in the project included: - Analyzing the existing STL file to identify geometry problems - Fixing non-manifold edges and broken mesh areas - Correcting surface inconsistencies and topology issues - Adjusting proportions to better match scale requirements - Improving structural thickness to prevent print failures Additionally, I worked on optimizing the model so it would be better suited for resin printing while maintaining the original design intent. This type of work requires careful attention because many STL files created for rendering are not suitable for 3D printing without proper geometry correction. The final model was delivered as a clean, watertight STL file ready for reliable printing, allowing the client to proceed with production. Core Focus of My Work Across my projects, I focus on delivering: - Accurate scale vehicle models - Clean hard-surface topology - Watertight STL files for 3D printing - Geometry optimized for resin or FDM printing - Models designed for collectors, hobbyists, and scale manufacturers My experience working with vehicle references, blueprints, and STL repair workflows allows me to transform ideas or rough models into professional, production-ready 3D assets.

F50 Police Truck – Custom Scale Vehicle Model • Freiberufler

Jan 2026 - Jan 2026 • 0 mos

One of the notable projects I worked on involved creating a scale model of an F50 Police Truck designed specifically for 3D printing. The goal of the project was to produce a clean, accurate representation of the vehicle that could be reliably printed at small scale, while still maintaining the recognizable design details of the real truck. Key aspects of the project included: - Hard surface modeling of the truck body, cab, and structural components - Accurate proportions to match the real vehicle references - Designing separate components such as wheels and accessories for better print results - Ensuring the geometry was watertight and optimized for small-scale printing - Preparing the model for resin printing where fine details are critical Special attention was given to surface transitions, panel lines, and simplified geometry so the model would maintain its visual quality even at smaller scale sizes. The final result was a clean, printable STL model suitable for collectors and scale model enthusiasts.
