3D Modelling and Printing of Christmas ornaments

In a recent 3D Modelling class led by Graphic Arts Teacher Shawn Cauchi, students computer modelled and printed their own Christmas ornaments.

After creating their model in a previous lesson, students Mikela Magro, Aleksander Attard, and Ayden Attard 3D printed their creations. After preparing them for paint by sanding and priming them, the students had then sprayed-painted their respective models gold, silver and red, ennsuring them a good polished finish.

The photo and video featured the process offer a glimpse into the fusion of technology and craftsmanship of the project: from the 3D printing to the hands-on nature of the artistic process, of spray-painting and refining the models.
