Guardian Lion (Foo-Dog) Statue

Guardian Lion Statue. Printed on a ProJet® 660Pro by Objex Unlimited.

Design

This model was created completely from scratch by one of our Objex designers, Craig Reid. Using ZBrush and some reference photos, the statue’s geometry is sculpted from a sphere using pulling and carving techniques, much like sculpting clay.

Print

We chose to print the Guardian Lion model on the 3D Systems ProJet® 660Pro, a type of ColorJet 3D printer. ColorJet Printing (CJP) involves two major components: core and binder. Core material is spread in thin layers over the build platform with a roller. After each layer of core material is spread, color binder is selectively jetted from inkjet print heads over the core layer, causing the core to solidify. The build platform lowers with each subsequentlayer of core and binder until the model is complete.

The advantage to using the ProJet® 660Pro for this particular print is the ability to print in full photo-realistic colour. The 660Pro utilizes the full CMYK colour spectrum, printing true black for the most realistic colour representation. This kind of colour detail is only possible on a ColorJet Printer.
