Design, Print, Climb: Crafting Climbing Holds with SOLIDWORKS

Discover how to design custom climbing holds from scratch in SOLIDWORKS and bring them to life with A3D Manufacturing.

Design to Climb

Traditionally, producing rock climbing holds involves a lengthy process of foam carving, mold making, and urethane casting, making it impractical for anyone but large climbing companies. In this webinar, we will use climbing holds as a compelling example to showcase the entire design-to-manufacturing journey, leveraging SOLIDWORKS and A3D Manufacturing as a key partner in bringing your designs to life.

Join us to see how quickly and easily custom designs can be created in SOLIDWORKS, where adjustments are just a slider away. Learn how critical textures can be integrated directly into the design or enhanced through post-processing techniques like vapor smoothing. With A3D’s commitment to quality and innovation, you’ll discover how our expertise can optimize your product development journey, making the dream of custom designs a reality.
