What
- Designed a life-size sculpture divided into modular segments for easier production and assembly.
- Developed a multi-part assembly of separate organic components, each sized to fit standard 3D printer build volumes.
How
- Segmented the complex mesh into manageable sections while preserving anatomical detail across the seams.
- Optimised the hollow shell geometry to keep the structure stable while reducing overall mass and material use.
Results
- Delivered a practical route to large-format display pieces made entirely by additive manufacturing.
- Produced a design that balances visual fidelity with mechanical practicality, with geometry suited to high-quality finishing.
Tools and processes: Mesh segmentation, shell optimisation, large-format FDM printing
