What happens to your figurine in the print room

Once you approve the sketch, your figurine leaves the computer and goes to the print room. Here is what happens during the next 9 hours.

1. Preparing the file

The sculptor exports the model, hollows thick parts to save resin and adds tiny supports so overhangs like chins, ears and swords print cleanly.

2. Printing layer by layer

Our resin printers cure each 0.05 mm layer with UV light. A 15 cm figurine has about 3,000 layers and takes around nine hours.

3. Washing and curing

The fresh print is washed in a cleaning bath, then cured under UV light so it becomes hard and stable.

4. Removing supports and sanding

We clip the supports one by one and sand every contact point by hand, so no marks are visible after painting.
