That sounds like an awesome project! For something small, you can also get printable wax. That way, the burn out is less complicated. Could even pour some silver!

That’s hands down the best lost PLA cast I’ve ever seen straight out of the mold. I think that was better than most people after sanding and finishing. Well done.

3D CAD, 3D scanners, and C&C additive and subtractive tools, in the recent years have all added a lot to manufacturing, especially to personal projects. As always a nicely polished video.

Amazing work as always! I do get strong vibes of that old pre-movie roll about not pirating movies, (if you wouldn’t rob a bank, you wouldn’t download a movie) which someone parodied with a bit that said “you wouldn’t download a car!” Made me think: “You wouldn’t download a sculpture!”

To avoid any grey areas… I wouldn’t sell a sculpture I scanned. I have a hard time believing there would be an issue about a 3D photographs of a public sculpture for personal use. Definitely an interesting moment as digital art is infinitely reproducible. Is the goal truly to bring happiness to as many people as possible through art? I give it a couple more IPhone iterations before this capability is in everyone’s pocket. If you believe in the Metaverse, even more pressure will blur the line between digital and actual. This sculpture will sit on my shelf in both locations!

@@Grunblau Brian, I don't think you should apologize in the least. The Arts and Crafts Movement, in part, was an effort to use the new machinery of the Industrial Revolution to bring art to the everyday masses. People like William Morris understood that the Industrial Revolution wasn't going away. Your video demonstrates that today we have better technology and capability at our disposal than Victorian England could dream of. Why aren't we teaching and replicating beauty and making it available to the masses? You are, and I thank you for it. Keep up the great work!

Great outcome and video. Apart from this being such a cool sculpture that id love to have, the amazing technology on display in this video is exciting. in just a few decades we have consumer priced, yet highly capable 3D scanners, 3D printers ( the mediums are amazing, dissolvable, carbon fiber, investment etc and all accessible outside of industry) and such an impressive array of epoxy chemistry options The ability to scan and possibly replicate public art or other significant objects can reduce financial or geographical limitations to appreciating the real thing in person.

Nice! You should make videos more often)

@@Grunblau The 3D scanner that you used in the video seems nice, although, I'm a bit surprised that it didn't stitch the scans together automatically rather than having to assemble them post-process to get the final model. In terms of your experience goes with 3D scanners (since I'm getting the impression this isn't the first time you've used one), is such a feature a reasonable expectation for scanners under 1000$ (Q1)? Also, a bit of a side question if you have time for it, but when looking at purchasing a scanner is there any metric by which you can get an idea of the resolution of the scanner (Q2)? Now I'll probably find the answer to this question whenever I do my own research on the products on the market, although, I'd still like to get your opinion on the matter if you have one.

Perfeito 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Amazing, can you talk more about the degasing step?

Excellent quality as always, the resin/sand casting looks nice and crisp too. Regarding 3D tourism, in the future it will likely be possible to quickly scan/film a whole area/walking route with a small autonomous drone, for viewing later in VR. Popular tourist spots could even have 'Live recording' areas for virtual tourists to move around in

Exactly. We already have drones/RCs that can record the environment/mine shafts, etc…. Obviously no substitute for actually being there, but for those that can’t travel it could be amazing especially if the 4th dimension could be recorded like a waterfall or waves crashing on the beach.
