Research visit to Tokyo Geidai (Tokyo Geijutsu Daigaku)

By Giles J Corby, on 25 April 2013

Images from research trip in April 2013 to Tokyo: looking at other foundries.

The photos below are of Rokusan ‘Honna’ plaster casts (one of six ‘original’ casts) that have been digitally scanned from the plaster originals and then 3D printed into three bronze sections. Each of these sections have been welded together.

In the detailed images, this display copy shows the print deposits lines on the surface of the metal made during the printing process.
