About Project

The models are made for a museum to present the full procedure of papermaking. The process can be generalized into five steps:
1. Separating the useful fibre from the rest of the raw materials. (e.g. cellulose from wood, cotton, etc.)
2. Beating down the fibre into pulp
3. Adjusting the colour, mechanical, chemical, biological, and other properties of the paper by adding special chemical premixes
4. Screening the resulting solution
5. Pressing and drying to get the actual paper

Solution

• Step 1: Examine the 3D models sent from the client, and help revise the models.
• Step 2: Hollow the models to decrease the materials so as to cut down the cost. Add supports and arrange the placement on slicing software.
• Step 3: 3D print the models in one piece with SLA Generic Resin using our industrial 3D printer. The layer thickness we set is 0.05mm.
• Step 4: Rinse the model with IPA and post-cure with UV. Cut off all the supports, then polish with sandpaper.
