A soccer player statue may be the best gift for big soccer fan friends! This 11cm-high full-color statue only costs less than $150. It's the cheapest method to print a full-color solid sculpture. Still expensive for ya? Then you can print hollowed resin garage kit and color it by yourself.
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 soccer player.
- 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.
