About Project

The sandstone 3D prints have a feature that the surface is a little bit whitish, so the figures with light skin and clothes would look misty. To solve this problem, we sometimes spray with clear UV oil under the clients' commission. For people like us with darker skins, sandstone has the best performance of details display. The eyeballs and clothes folds are all very clear.

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 woman.
• 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.
