The build
How we built it
5 steps, from the brief to the finished piece. Pick a step to jump to it.
The brief
Step 1 of 5
At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we made a ceremonial mace for the Singapore Police Force. It needed a lion head, the force's name and its values, and a finish that reads as polished metal.
Concept
Step 2 of 5
We laid out the options on one page: crests from the force's history beside the state crest and today's police crest, and the values Courage, Loyalty, Integrity and Fairness, with Setia & Bakti and Honour & Unity, in plain and script lettering.
Production
Step 3 of 5
We 3D printed the head in white: the lion on top, the dome below it, and SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE lettered round the dome's rim above a tapered neck.
Build & assembly
Step 4 of 5
The head was finished in mirror chrome, with the lion standing on a gold disc lettered in script, and fitted to its shaft. We then worked over the lettering by hand with a fine tool, so FAIRNESS reads cleanly on the dome.
The final build
Step 5 of 5
On 03/06/2025 the chrome head stood on its shaft in our workshop, the shaft still in its wrapping, with FAIRNESS lettered cleanly on the dome.
