The Norwegian art duo “L+S” used SLA 3D printing as part of the workflow to create bronze sculptures of trees. The duo, consisting of Lutz-Rainer M\u00fcller and Stian\u00c5dlandsvik, was commissioned by Ullertunet, the Oslo Dementia Nursing Home, to create the four-meter-high sculpture.<\/p>\n
The bronze tree is made by transforming the traditional “lost wax” casting process. Use photogrammetry to convert photos of approximately one thousand bare-branched trees into 3D scans. Then, the artist improved the casting model using DSM Somos TetraShell technology. The build processor reduces the large sculptures into smaller parts, which are manufactured on one of the Materialize Mammoth 3D printers.<\/p>\nA Materialise Mammoth 3D printer (Editor-in-chief Michael Petch for scale).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The process<\/h2>\n
After reconstructing the various parts of the model, 3D printing enabled bronzesmith Thomas Sijen to “skip some parts of the traditional lost wax casting method”, saving time and cost. This involves creating a composite “stucco” mold around the model before pouring the bronze directly into the model. After cooling, the composite material was broken to reveal the bronze shape of the tree.<\/p>\n
\u00c5dlandsvik explained the reason why only half of the tree was dropped and said that they hope to explore the concept of “time…memory, recovery…and dignity”, especially the fragmentary nature of the memories of those affected by dementia. Then, the sculpture itself is installed next to the modeling tree, and patients can see them side by side, one growing and growing with the season, the other freezing with time.<\/p>\nSijen looks at the bronze trunk of the tree sculpture after removing its plaster cast.

Bronze and beyond<\/h2>\n
The method of using 3D printing to make sculptures is increasingly used in the art world, and it has a history of more than ten years.<\/p>\n
Materialize also has a long history of dealing with art projects, and even held an exhibition to showcase Andy Warhol’s work during RAPID (from the perspective of 3D printing). On the occasion of the company’s 25th anniversary, a 3D printing art exhibition was held at the Bozar Center in Brussels.<\/p>\n
In addition, this is not the first time L+S has used this technology in its work. The 2013 work “Lalt and Sepper” consists of a salt and pepper cellar shaped like the bones of the artist’s armpit. These porcelain containers are made using 3D printed molds scanned by the artist’s arm CAT.<\/p>\n\u201cLalt and Sepper\u201d by L+S (2013) \u2013 porcelain salt and pepper cellar sculptures of \u00c5dlandsvik\u2019s radius and ulna bones.
