About Project

• Step 1: The concept artwork and proportions were confirmed with the client.
• Step 2: A high-resolution 3D model was sculpted in digital software and scaled to the target height (several meters).
• Step 3: Structural requirements were evaluated, and an internal metal spine/base frame was designed.
• Step 4: The model was segmented into large printable modules, and registration keys, lap joints, and alignment holes were added.
• Step 5: Print orientation and slicing parameters were set for a large-format polymer printer; coarse layers and thick walls were selected for speed and rigidity.
• Step 6: Each module was 3D printed on industrial equipment and labeled for position and orientation.
• Step 7: Dimensional checks were performed; warpage and shrinkage were measured and recorded.
• Step 8: The metal frame was fabricated (cut, drilled, and welded) according to drawings, and lifting points were prepared.
• Step 9: A dry-fit trial was conducted; modules were temporarily clamped to the frame to verify alignment.
• Step 10: Bonding surfaces were abraded and cleaned to ensure adhesion.
• Step 11: Modules were permanently bonded to one another and to the frame using structural adhesive; hidden screws/pins were added where needed.
• Step 12: All seams and fastener recesses were filled with putty/fairing compound and were allowed to cure.
• Step 13: The surface was rough-sanded to knock down high spots, then progressively sanded to blend joints.
• Step 14: A high-build primer/undercoat was sprayed to unify the surface; pinholes and low areas were spot-filled and re-primed.
• Step 15: Where higher durability was required, a fiber-reinforced coating (FRP or polyurethane hard-coat) was applied and post-cured.
• Step 16: Final sanding to finish grit was completed, and the surface was dust-blown and degreased.
• Step 17: Color coats and artistic finishes were applied (matte, satin, or metallic as specified), followed by a protective UV-resistant clear coat.
• Step 18: The base/footing was prepared with anchors; the statue was mounted, leveled, and torque-checked.
• Step 19: On-site seams and touch-ups were blended, and final inspection and documentation were completed.
• Step 20: The piece was photographed, packaged (if required), and handed over for exhibit.
