Atlanta Bases

In the heart of Atlanta, the city's iconic aluminum street light bases were facing an unprecedented crisis: theft and corrosion threatened their very existence. Brazen thieves were pilfering access doors and, in some audacious cases, entire bases, driven by the allure of scrap metal's monetary value. This relentless pilferage not only cost the city dearly in terms of maintenance and replacement but also rendered the decorative light poles susceptible to further internal copper wire theft and corrosion. Atlanta needed a solution, and it came in the form of ScaleUp 3D.

ScaleUp 3D, armed with field measurements and a clear vision, embarked on a mission to safeguard Atlanta's streets. Leveraging advanced technology, they meticulously crafted a digital file that replicated the existing bases with precision. However, what truly set these new bases apart was the bold addition of the phrase "No Scrap Value" etched into the upper collar. This ingenious touch served as a potent deterrent to would-be thieves, making it abundantly clear that these bases were worthless in the scrap market. With the help of their super large-scale BigRep 3D printer, ScaleUp 3D brought these designs to life, producing to-scale parts that perfectly matched the form, fit, and function of the original bases. Once rigorously test-fitted and approved, ScaleUp 3D handed the baton to TerraCast, who harnessed their proprietary technology to mass-produce these innovative bases, securing Atlanta's streets and illuminating a brighter, theft-free future for the city.
