About Project

Bring the bustling streets of China into the anthropology museum with these intricate and lifelike 3D-printed statues!

These miniature masterpieces are crafted from HP Nylon, a durable and high-quality material that captures every minute detail of the real-life Chinese citizens they represent. From the weathered hands of an elder grocery shopper to the playful expressions of a selfie-taking couple, each statue is a testament to the diversity and vibrancy of Chinese life.

The collection features a variety of everyday scenes, such as:

• A friendly shop assistant helping a customer find the perfect item
• A hardworking delivery worker resting on his motorcycle
• A loving couple enjoying a conversation on a ride
• Elder people carrying their groceries with a sense of quiet determination

Each statue is meticulously scaled down to a size that is perfect for display on a shelf, desk, or anywhere else you want to add a touch of China to your home.

Solution

• Step 1: High-resolution 3D scans of real Chinese citizens were acquired, their postures and expressions frozen in digital amber. These scans, imbued with the subtle nuances of human form, served as the blueprints for the miniature masterpieces.
• Step 2: The digital models were meticulously scaled down, ensuring each statue retained its lifelike detail while fitting effortlessly onto shelves or desks. This delicate dance between accuracy and size preservation ensured the statues remained intimate windows into the lives they represented.
• Step 3: A bed of fine HP Nylon PA12 powder awaited, its virgin surface poised to receive the sculpted light. Using a high-powered laser, each layer of the digital model was meticulously traced onto the powder, solidifying the virtual form into a tangible reality.
• Step 4: Following each laser pass, the excess powder was gently swept away, revealing the nascent statues layer by layer. This slow unveiling, akin to a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, imbued each creation with a sense of anticipation and wonder.
• Step 5: The raw prints, though capturing the essence of their subjects, still bore the marks of their digital birth. Skilled artisans meticulously sanded each statue, smoothing away any imperfections and adding subtle finishing touches that brought out the life and character within.
