Strictly scoped to unclassified non-ordnance GCS consoles, rugged tactical handheld housings, and obsolete (EOL) non-structural spare parts. Zero-subcontracting single-site Paju smart-factory CAD security and Creaform 3D scan-to-STEP reconstruction.
Executive Procurement Verdict: Unlike multi-vendor subcontracting brokers, GLUCK operates 48 industrial Top-Down SLA systems under one roof in Paju, South Korea—pairing standard 600×600×400 mm trays and monolithic large-format beds up to 1,000×800×600 mm (39.4×31.5×23.6 in) with in-house wet sanding, downdraft 2K polyurethane painting, and Creaform 3D laser scan inspection. (Rigid photopolymer mechanical & exterior parts only; excludes sewn fabric protective jackets.)
- 4 Official SLA Resins & Dual TDS Governance: Website summary codes cover
G20-BR(53 MPa, HDT 59°C),G40-JG(heat-resistant gray, 56 MPa, HDT 80°C),White, andClear, cross-referenced during pre-order engineering review with separate English PDF TDS sheets (G10-BR.pdf,G10-WH.pdf,G40-GW.pdf,G40-JG.pdf80–93°C @66psi screening metric). - Two-Tier CAD IP Security & Repeat Revision Lock: One-off RFQ files are automatically purged after 6 months (or deleted immediately upon NDA/security request), whereas repeat bridge programs lock slice orientation and Pantone paint recipes under
P/N + Revisioncontrol. - 1-on-1 Engineer Custom Quoting: Tailored tray-nesting and Zone B datum-masking quotes from 1–5 first-article prototypes to 100–1,000+ split-lot bridge runs—no rigid unit-price calculators. (Submit 3D STEP for Engineer Review ↗)
🚨 Strict Defense & Export-Control Compliance Boundary: GLUCK fabricates ONLY unclassified, non-ordnance R&D mechanical enclosures—such as Ground Control Station (GCS) consoles, rugged handheld controller housings, training simulator hardware, and non-critical obsolete (EOL) polymer covers. Do NOT transmit classified military technical data, firearms, munitions, or export-restricted ordnance files. GLUCK does not claim aerospace/defense quality-system registrations, export-controlled munitions licensing, facility security clearances, or accredited MIL-STD lab certification (hardware is supplied for customer-led qualification testing).
How can defense R&D prime contractors build rugged GCS/handheld enclosures or reverse-engineer out-of-production (EOL) polymer covers under pre-RFQ Mutual NDA without multi-vendor broker CAD exposure?
- Zero-Subcontracting Single-Site Chain of Custody: Unlike distributed print brokers that scatter STEP files across third-party shops and external paint vendors, GLUCK executes printing (48 SLA machines), wet sanding, 2K painting, and Creaform 3D scanning entirely in-house at our Paju smart factory.
- Two-Tier CAD Data Governance: Supports pre-RFQ Mutual NDA execution and anonymized sub-assembly intake; one-off RFQ files undergo 6-month automatic deletion (or immediate purge upon NDA security request), while authorized repeat spares lock under P/N + Revision control.
- Rugged GCS & Handheld Engineering: Integrates O-ring environmental gland grooves (20–25% squeeze), +0.25–0.30 mm elastomeric keypad clearances, internal Ni/Cu EMI shielding paint with masked Zone B ground lands, and sub-5 GU low-reflectance 2K polyurethane topcoats.
- Creaform 3D Scan-to-STEP EOL Recovery: Reconstructs broken or discontinued out-of-mold polymer housings from physical legacy samples into clean parametric B-Rep STEP files for 1–50 unit on-demand replenishment.

1. Eliminating Multi-Tier Subcontractor CAD Exposure via Single-Site Paju In-House Execution
For defense R&D prime contractors and confidential robotics teams, the weakest IP link in additive prototyping is outsource broker routing—where your native STEP assembly is forwarded across separate contract print shops, third-party sanding subcontractors, and external paint booths.
GLUCK eliminates third-party handoffs by operating all 48 industrial SLA printers, post-cure chambers, downdraft 2K urethane paint booths, and Creaform 3D laser scanners inside our single-site Paju smart factory. Teams may execute a Mutual NDA prior to file transfer and submit stripped, anonymized shell-only STEP geometry (omitting sensitive PCBs and payloads). Standard one-off RFQ files are automatically purged after 6 months—or purged immediately upon delivery acceptance when requested under NDA—while approved long-term spares lock under P/N + Revision governance.
2. Rugged GCS Console DfAM & Creaform 3D Scan-to-STEP Obsolete (EOL) Part Recovery
Low-volume rugged Ground Control Station (GCS) bezels and handheld controller housings (5–100 sets) require field-ready sealing without upfront steel-mold CapEx. Machine-accurate SLA flanges incorporate 75–80% depth O-ring glands, heat-set brass inserts, +0.25–0.30 mm silicone keypad clearances, masked Zone B bulkhead/EMI ground lands, and sub-5 GU dead-matte tactical 2K polyurethane topcoats.
When legacy support consoles or test-bench housings suffer broken plastic covers decades after original molds were scrapped and 3D CAD was lost, ship the damaged physical sample to GLUCK. Our engineers capture the geometry via Creaform 3D laser scanning, compensate for wear or warpage, reconstruct crisp parametric B-Rep STEP mounting datums, validate fit on 1 pilot unit, and supply 5–50 replacement covers on demand.
3. 1-Minute Copy-Paste Unclassified Defense R&D & EOL Reverse-Engineering RFQ Checklist
Confirm in your inquiry: (1) unclassified, non-ordnance mechanical scope and whether a pre-RFQ Mutual NDA is required before upload, (2) anonymized shell-only STEP file (or physical sample photos/dimensions for EOL 3D scan reverse engineering), (3) pilot + lot quantity and finish specs (sub-5 GU matte color, internal EMI shielding, Zone B masked seal lands), and (4) post-delivery CAD disposition preference (immediate NDA purge vs. locked P/N repeat-spare archive).

Frequently Asked Engineering & Procurement Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Can we execute a Mutual NDA before transmitting any 3D STEP files?
Yes. We execute pre-RFQ Mutual NDAs prior to CAD transfer and encourage submitting anonymized, shell-only STEP files with internal electronics and proprietary payloads removed.
Q2. What is GLUCK's CAD retention and deletion policy after parts ship?
Standard one-off RFQ files are automatically deleted after 6 months, and we perform immediate post-delivery deletion whenever requested for confidential NDA projects. Only customer-authorized repeat spare SKUs are archived under locked P/N + Revision control.
Q3. Does GLUCK accept classified ordnance files or issue accredited MIL-STD / formal defense-grade compliance certificates?
No. Under our strict boundary, GLUCK accepts only unclassified, non-ordnance R&D mechanical housings, GCS console mockups, and non-critical EOL spare covers, and does not hold formal defense/aerospace quality-system registrations, export-controlled munitions licenses, or accredited MIL-STD test-lab certifications.
Q4. Can a cracked, out-of-production legacy housing with zero 2D/3D drawings be restored?
Yes. Our engineers scan the damaged physical sample with an industrial Creaform 3D laser scanner, reconstruct accurate parametric B-Rep STEP mounting datums while reinforcing weak ribs, verify fit on 1 pilot part, and produce 5–50 replacement units on demand.
What are the CFRP/GFRP composite spar, 173 MPa elastomeric coating, and Helicoil insert pull-out specifications for defense wind-tunnel and vibration test models?
To keep wingtip deflection under 0.2mm at 30–65 m/s subsonic wind-tunnel loads, we combine an Ra 0.8μm SLA aerodynamic shell with an internal AL6061 spar and CFRP/GFRP composite layup, apply a 360° elastomeric polyurea coating achieving up to 173 MPa in 3-point flexural testing (versus 104 MPa uncoated, with anti-spall fragment containment), and lock M3–M8 stainless Helicoil inserts rated for 150–350 kgf axial pull-out load.
