About Project

We are not quite clear with the meaning of this statue. Seems the giraffe is breathing the smoke blown from the chimney. The client has a really detailed blueprint of his creation, and he has noted the specific color he wants for it.

Solution

  • Step 1: Examine the 3D models carefully, especially whether the details exceed minimum layer heights.
  • Step 2: Add supporting structures. As requested, we 3D print the whole model with SLA Generic Resin.
  • Step 3: Cut off the supports and wash the prints with IPA. Spray the print with a prime after air drying. Polish to remove the marks.
  • Step 4: Spray all the parts with metallic gold paint.
