Reproducing vehicle emblems is commonplace in car restoration, particularly antique emblems. It's usually done by Lost Wax Casting. Here I show how a car emblem can be made at home on a 3D printer and then cast into metal, using the Lost PLA Casting method. For demonstration purposes, I used a few examples of auto emblems I found at Thingiverse.com as well a making a couple myself using Fusion 360. This allows the car badges to be scaled to fit individual vehicles. After that it's just a simple matter of casting to bronze. Now bronze might not seem to be the right colour choice, but it's an ideal, non-corrosive material that can be chrome plated.

So if you can't find that car vehicle emblem you need for your car restoration project, consider 3d printing your own : )

It's a small world... if you've seen and enjoyed my Car Emblem video, take at look at this video by fellow YouTuber thehomefoundry - Where I took a 3d Print file from Thingiverse, he produces an adapted emblem on CNC and Lost Wax Casting. Excellent stuff. Well worth watching -    • Making a car emblem
