The largest 3D printing in the world
In this article, you will learn how the largest tall figure in the world was printed - we prepared an overview of a project for the Cheryomushkinsky market, in which three-dimensional printing of four five-meter figures was performed
Concept and embodiment
The customer needed to make four figures of women, personifying fertility and prosperity, in order to revive the interior of the Moscow market. The design was developed jointly with the customer for each figure, but in general, the concept was the same: Russian young ladies were holding fruits, vegetables and other food products in their hands.
The height of the figures is 5 meters. To give proper stability to the structure, a metal frame was built inside the model, the location of which is outlined in the figure on the left.
Durable PET-G was chosen as the printing material, but the printing itself, albeit broken parts of the figure, could be carried out at a normal pace only on the Belgian Colossus.
Design
The design of the internal metal frame, the selection of materials and the assembly process was developed by our team. The largest figures in the history of 3D printing were printed on an appropriate 3D printer - the Colossus Mark 2.
Stage 1. 3D printing and post-processing
Stage 2. Installation
Just look at the scale!
After the installation of the first figure, work on the project from our side was suspendedas the main documentary contractor has stopped funding. The installation of the rest of the figures was carried out by another company according to the plan developed by us.
Funny moment
Even though the team members Studia3D attracted an order through their customer acquisition channels, did full work with the customer to coordinate the project and approve the 3D printing, assembly and installation technology, the project was financed through a third company. [[ We don't do that anymore, because excessive trust creates only obstacles =) ]] At some point, the third company stopped financing the project, and therefore we were forced to suspend the project. At the time the project was stopped, we designed and manufactured all the metal frames for 4 figures. Partially printed second figure. Further work on the assembly of the remaining 3 figures was carried out by another contractor. But that's a completely different story...
