3D printing of the layout

New project

The customer brought us a layout with a request to print the same, but 4 times larger! The original model was made of plaster, 35 cm long.

In addition to the initial layout, the customer provided us with 3D terrain scans obtained using topographic surveys. We later used them in print.

Material selection

We calculated the cost of an order made of plaster 70 cm long, but the price did not suit the customer.

Then an alternative was proposed - to make a model from PLA plastic and paint. Thanks to this method of manufacturing and painting, the model acquired a more realistic look than the original plaster.

Work process

The painting with a hand airbrush was performed at such a high level that all shadows and reliefs were visible on the model!

18 pieces were printed and glued together. We printed with PLA-plastic, because thanks to the paint and varnish, the access of water and air to the model is closed, and it will be intact for a long time.
