In recent years, the sculpture industry has made new technological breakthroughs by using large-scale industrial grade 3D printers for processing. After conducting in-depth research on the sculpture industry, Tianjin Boruizhan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has applied 3D printing technology to sculpture metal handicrafts, large-scale character sculptures, Buddha statues, outdoor fiberglass sculptures, anime sculptures, and cartoon animal sculptures. How much is the price of 3D printed sculptures and do they have any advantages compared to traditional craftsmanship?

1. Prototype production of metal sculpture handicrafts

The traditional process is to use clay carving prototypes for mold casting, and the final effect often depends on the craftsmanship level of the master. Clay sculpture works are also difficult to manage due to material reasons. By using 3D printed sculpture prototypes to replace traditional clay carvings and using reverse casting, various types of metal handicrafts can be produced, with more complete details and higher accuracy.

2. 3D printing of indoor sculpture models

The indoor environment is generally cool and dry, with low material requirements. Using 3D printing to create indoor sculpture models can save the process of mold casting. More and more sculpture factories are using 3D printing to create indoor sculpture models, casting fiberglass reinforcement inside, and then assembling and coloring. This can save the process of mold making, save money and time, and achieve more exquisite results.

3. Prototype production of outdoor fiberglass sculpture

In the past, sculpture manufacturers generally used foam sculpture to make prototypes of outdoor FRP sculptures. Although foam prototypes are relatively cheap, they are rough and difficult to achieve more sophisticated structures. Instead of the traditional foam prototype, the 3D printed sculpture prototype is used for mold turning casting to make glass fiber reinforced plastic sculptures with more exquisite effects.

According to the staff of 3D printer manufacturer Tianjin Borui Exhibition, in terms of production cycle and manual participation, the 3D printing sculpture production process has higher flexibility, more exquisite effects, shorter production cycle, and most of the time, the overall cost is actually lower. Overall, compared to traditional processes, 3D printing services are more cost-effective and attractive.
