The initial design for this pistol grip began as a wooden, hand-sculpted prototype which was then 3D scanned and imported into CAD (computer aided design). Our designers then worked to convert this preliminary design into a manufacturable product.

Prototypes of the design were fabricated using a powder-based 3D printer in combination with silicone casting to give this prototype both the look and feel of the final product.
