About Project

The statue of this blonde hair beauty is absolutely a masterpiece. Many people take photos to record their youth while this client thought differently and customed this full-color statue. Her underwear was very thin, so the designer just attached a mapping and did not add the thickness.

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, the modelers build the 3D model of the lady and map her clothes.
• 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.
