to cast some of the fruits becuase there are thin. We combine lost wax casting and sand casting to succsffuly make them. After very careful chasing and cleaning the aluminum casting, we move on polishing. We employ three step polishing system to polish all the pieces. The result is stunning.
Above: Polishing wheel Tips 3: Control the temperature of the casting when polishing. Polishing process will generate large amount of heat, which should be avoided as it will burn the surface of the metal and lower the polishing quality. It is a good idea to use fan or water cooling system to coll down the surface of metal when polishing. Feel free to contact us if you have any technical question of your own project.
It is among our most challenging job and we employ special casting technique to make it. Below is a short description how we cast it. Project Name: Ape Finger Size: 10 Feet tall Material: Silicon bronze Everdur Casting Technique: Lost wax casting ( plaster shelling) Production lead time: 45 days Major Challenge: the big size sculpture with extremely complicated texture and details. Step One: We sculpt the pattern of the sculpture. Step Two: For normal project, a sculpture project at this scale requires sand casting technique. However, since this sculpture features so much texture, we decide using lost wax casting.
This is the key step during the entire process. All texture on the bronze has to be kept perfectly while we still need to cut off the sprues. Step Five: Welding, assembling and finishing. Step Six: Patination. We do black patina on the bronze. The final work look fantastic.
Also, I will use a project we recently accomplished to show you the process step by step. Step 1: Creating 3D model Overall, there are two ways to create 3D model. 3D Scanning Digital Modelling 3D Scanning Digital Modelling Use 3D laser scanner to scan the physical object to generate a digital model of the sculpture.
