The work
From real monument
to printed volume.
This architectural scale model was built to reproduce the Major’s proportions, volumes and characteristic details. The 3D modelling took around two months.
The model is made of several interlocking parts. The finest elements were printed with a 0.2 mm nozzle on an H2C, with around 150 hours of printing.
The project began with photographs, plans and references, followed by geometric reconstruction and preparation for 3D printing.
