Patience is needed for the nuanced development of your craft.
Printing the TomyTones character in ceramic through i.materialise — a material that requires different modelling constraints compared to standard polymer 3D printing.
Process
Ceramic 3D printing demands thicker walls, larger minimum feature sizes and no thin overhanging details. The Cinema4D model was re-engineered for the material: wall thicknesses brought up to spec, delicate features simplified, and the geometry checked for printability before submission.
The finished ceramic piece was presented at Pictoplasma Berlin 2014, an international conference and festival focused on character design and art.
