What we brought

  1. What we can do

    A drawing turned into a sculpt

    We turned a hand-drawn character sheet into a 3D sculpt, down to the SGX lettering on his belt.

  2. How we look after you

    The design settled before printing

    We reworked the rebar into separate ribbed rods on a strap before a single figure was printed.

  3. What you get

    Identical figures for every award

    Every resin figure came out the same, ready to be finished and mounted for the awards.

How we built it

6 steps, from the brief to the finished piece. Pick a step to jump to it.

The brief

Step 1 of 6

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we made the mascot figure for SGX's trading awards trophies: a strongman giving a thumbs-up with rebar on his shoulder.

Concept

Step 2 of 6

The design started from a character sheet: front, side and back views, the thumbs-up pose, rebar rods on the shoulder and a champion belt with SGX debossed on it.

DrawingThe character sheet the sculpt started from.

Design and prototyping

Step 3 of 6

We sculpted the mascot in 3D from the sheet, with the rock-like body, torn jeans and the debossed belt, and checked him from every side before printing.

  1. Revision 0

    First sculpt, the rods in one bundle.

Production

Step 4 of 6

The figures were printed in white resin in batches, each with the rebar on his shoulder and SGX on his belt.

Four figures, straight from printing.

Clean-up and batch check

Step 5 of 6

With the supports off, we laid each batch out and checked the figures side by side: the same pose, rebar and SGX belt on every one, ready to be finished.

The final build

Step 6 of 6

Each printed figure became one trophy: finished in silver and mounted on a faceted grey base with a brass plate naming the award and its winner.
