Solution

  • Step 1: Digital Modeling. Artists meticulously sculpt a 3D model of the Payara fish using advanced CAD software. Every intricate detail, from the menacing fangs to the subtle scales, is carefully captured. The model is designed to be printed at a high resolution to ensure maximum detail.
  • Step 2: Model Preparation. The 3D model is sliced into hundreds or thousands of thin layers, providing instructions for the 3D printer. Support structures are generated to prevent overhangs and ensure structural integrity during printing. The model is oriented on the build platform to optimize printing efficiency and minimize the need for support structures.
  • Step 3: 3D Printing. The sliced model data is transferred to an SLA 3D printer. A laser beam is directed onto a vat of liquid photopolymer SLA Tough Resin. The resin solidifies where the laser strikes, creating the first layer of the object. The build platform is lowered, and another layer is cured, gradually building up the three-dimensional structure.
  • Step 4: Post-Processing. Once the printing is complete, the model is removed from the resin vat. Any remaining resin is washed away using a solvent. The model is cured under ultraviolet light to solidify the resin and ensure its strength. Support structures, if used, are carefully removed using specialized tools to avoid damaging the delicate details.
  • Step 5: Finishing and Painting. The model is sanded and smoothed to remove imperfections and create a smooth surface. Fine details, such as the scales and gills, are added using sculpting tools or 3D printing techniques. The model is primed to prepare the surface for painting. Skilled artists apply various colors and textures to achieve a lifelike appearance. The final touches, such as weathering or shading, are added to enhance realism.
