3D-Printed Replica of the Stone of Tizoc (Piedra de Tízoc)
This is a high-precision 3D-printed replica of the Aztec Stone of Tizoc, a cylindrical basalt monument originally carved between 1481 and 1486 during the reign of the Mexica tlatoani Tizoc. The original stone, now housed in the Mexica Hall of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, features relief carvings of conquest scenes around its sides and a solar disk on the upper surface, later modified by a central depression and channel. The replica is based on the documented form of this monument and is produced as a scaled model suitable for display or study.
The object is available in the following materials:
– White nylon: Produced via selective laser sintering and finished with polishing for a smooth surface. This is the most economical option.
– Black nylon: Produced via selective laser sintering with post-printing treatment and Color Touch finish. The surface is uniform, resistant to scratching and rubbing, and suitable for external conditions, with consistent colour across production batches.
Dimensions (nylon versions): 9.5 × 3.9 cm (3.7 × 1.5 in).
Objects that exceed the maximum build size of the respective production processes are manufactured at a reduced scale relative to the original monument. In certain cases, hollowing is applied during production to reduce material use and cost.
