3D objects for a museum in Delft

For  museum Tetar van Elven for art and furniture from the 19e century in Delft, Netherlands, I have an exhibition this summer with contemporary art. I made for this project 14 objects with a 3D printer. In the museum I made photos from the ornaments in the 19e century and copied details in my way on modern objects. A reflection from the 19e century into this time.

Foto interieur museum: 




From photos of the original ornaments in the museum I made a design. The designs where scanned to the computer and made my interpretation of the design for my objects. Then the ornament details are projected on the objects. All the 3D works are made in Rhino. Sometimes corrections where made to get a better design. The final result was send over to the 3D printer by Protospace I Fablab Utrecht. Just before printing the stl files where hollowed out with the 3D printing software.

The remaining material gets sucked away and blown away.

After a salt spray the object getting stronger after you dry it with a föhn and in an oven 50C.

I tried to color the objects by computer, but it was for my object to much pastel. Because of the salt post treatment the colours don't get too bright. One second glue will works, but this way is more expensive.
I Also made a bigger object than the machine can make. I made in two parts, but the first time to thin and not with a straight section line, so it did not fit due to deforming. Better was a bit thicker and a straight line.




Result objects, not yet colored.

After I did research for the colors I finished with grafiti spray with different colors
