An overview of Templot 3D exports


Experimental work is under way to create 3D-printed track direct from Templot files. Currently available for bullhead track using REA-pattern chairs.


Plug track

20241115-061835.jpeg Plug track is suitable for all gauges and scales. Resin-printed chairs clip into sockets in the timbering base. There is an option to use a separate loose outer chair jaw, which makes the construction of complex formations more straightforward. The timbering base can be FDM (filament) printed, or laser-cut, or CNC-milled. More about plug track on the Bexhill West pages and videos.


COT track

COT track (integral Chairs On Timbers) is suitable for scales 7mm/ft and larger. A ready-to-use chaired timbering base is FDM-printed, into which the rails are inserted. A fast FDM printer is recommended. No resin-printed parts are needed.
