This is a precise 3D-printed reproduction of the Apollo figure from the west pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Greece (original ca. 460 BC). The model captures the early Classical Severe Style: a standing male figure with square shoulders, an impassive expression, right arm extended in a commanding gesture, and a mantle draped over the right shoulder and left forearm. The reverse side reflects the original’s unfinished surface and attachment points.
The replica is offered in the following materials:
– White nylon: Polishing is a process which makes the objects smoother to touch and is the cheapest option.
– Black nylon: Thanks to the post-printing treatment procedure we follow before applying the Color Touch finish on your 3D parts, they get resistant enough to be exposed to external conditions, they resist scratching and rubbing. Moreover, you get a very stable and consistent color between different production batches, which is great if you need to produce an important amount of identical parts. The surface shows a uniform color, with a very good quality.
– Bronze, gold plated brass, white rhodium plated brass: The master model typically built in wax thanks to 3D printing is the perfect replica of the finished product. Once the master model is created, a mould made in plaster is poured over it. Once the plaster mold is ready, liquid metal is injected into the mold to replace wax which is drained away through a treelike structure to create the object. Using Metal Casting allows creating metal parts with an elegant look.
Replica Measurements (Nylon): 13 cm (5.12 in)
Replica Measurements (Metals): 6 cm (2.36 in)
Objects that exceed the dimensional limits of the production process in any of the listed materials are supplied at a reduced scale relative to the original. Hollowing is occasionally applied to lower production cost.
