About Project

Hooking such a big fish is definitely a highlight moment for every fisherman. From the photo, it's hard to tell how the complete fish looks like, so our client found us to build a statue. It's also a trophy that he would show off to his friends when he talked about this adventure.

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 man and the fish.
• 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.
