About Project
Making a statue is how the client keeps the smile of his beloved one eternal. Given the credit to the 3D modeler's work and our industrial 3D printer, her eyes and hair look very clear and nice.
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, our modelers build the 3D model of the bust sculpture.
- 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.
