About Project

ColorJet printing has a lower resolution compared with PolyJet printing technology. So it's not very suitable for printing human head sculptures, but perfect for printing pet statues as they have big eyes and noses. ColorJet can also print dog hair, but every bunch is quite thick.

Solution

• Step 1: To produce full-color prints, a CAD model that contains the color information need to be built. Based on the photos sent from the client and other pictures on the Internet, our modelers build the 3D model of the dog.
• Step 2: A rolling batch leaves a uniform layer of sandstone-like powder. From there two printing heads pass over the batch, coloring and adhering to the object at the same time. The batch of powder then makes another pass, until the object is completed.
• Step 3: After printing, the parts are then coated with cyanoacrylate (super glue) or a different infiltrant to improve part strength and enhance the vibrancy of the colors. A secondary epoxy layer can then also be added to further improve strength and color appearance.
