What we brought
What we can do
Large pieces printed from your files
We printed the client's two halves in ABS-like resin by SLA, in many parts.
How we look after you
Joined into one sculpture
Each half was glued and clamped from its parts, then the two halves were joined at the centre.

The brief
Step 1 of 4 · 24/07/2026
- Starting point
- The client's print files, in two halves
- Material
- ABS-like resin, printed by SLA
- Joins
- Filled and smoothed so they do not show
- Finish
- Ivory white,
At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we printed and assembled a large lattice sculpture for an installation. The client supplied the print files and needed one piece with hidden joins, in a white shade.
Production
Step 2 of 4 · 28/07/2026
Once the client gave the go-ahead on 28/07/2026, both halves were printed in ABS-like resin by SLA, in many parts: petal-shaped lattice panels, legs and the small centre pieces.
Build and assembly
Step 3 of 4 · 14/08/2026
The parts were glued and clamped into two halves, each standing on its own legs. On 18/08/2026 the two halves were joined at the centre into one sculpture.
The final build
Step 4 of 4 · 19/08/2026
By 19/08/2026 the sculpture was one piece: two lattice halves joined at the centre, light enough for two people to lift and carry.
