Online Store of Metal Sculptures.
We offer online collection of Abstract Sculptures. They are made from stainless steel and bronze.
A three-dimensional computer models were realized into real forms by using a new direct-metal printing and
selective laser sintering (SLS) techniques.
Techniques:
The process of making my sculptures starts from mathematical idea.
I build a computer model to represent this mathematical idea in 3D world. At this stage I have some very rough understanding
of how the object will look. Next I apply custom algorithms to give the model nice body and organic look. I write all
software I use for this process. At this stage I have detailed computer image of the future sculpture which I can rotate and
manipulate in real time.
Next step is to play with computer model and to select parameters of the model to make sculpture look most interesting.
The selected model is saved in special 3D file format as hundreds of thousands of tiny triangles representing surface of the
object.
The file is transferred to state of the art metal printing machine, which assembles real piece from thin (0.002 inch)
layers of stainless steel powder, heats fragile porous piece in the furnace and infiltrates with molten bronze to make
it solid.
On the final stage I hand polish pieces and burnish them in tumbles with steel shot for a day or two in tumbler.
