Modern technologies allow to make busts and sculptures from wood. Of the highest quality, with detailed detail and excellent portrait resemblance.
At the same time, the terms of creation of such sculptures will be a matter of hours. And special knowledge, skills and experience - will not be required. All products are created almost automatically.
All you need is only to run the equipment (CNC machine) and control the process of creating a masterpiece. And also a high-quality 3d model of the future product.
In this article we will tell a little more about sculptures and busts made of solid wood. And you can buy ready-made models or order individual production of stl files from us!
Why wood?
Wood is durable, beautiful, environmentally friendly. It has an interesting well-defined texture, thus adding a special charm to the product.
Sculptures and busts made of wood or chipboard materials can be painted, gilded or covered with varnish, wood oil, not hiding, but on the contrary, emphasizing the unique texture of wood. Everything will depend on the customer's wishes and his idea.
Wood can be used hardwood, softwood, light, dark. Different types of wood allow on the basis of one model to produce products that differ from each other. Vary the size. From small pocket statuettes to huge statues and sculptures.
Sculpture or bust of wood will serve for decades. If necessary, the product can be restored.
Such an interior solution will be a real decoration of the house, apartment, office, any public space.
Features of the manufacture of busts and sculptures made of wood:
The material most often serves wood of oak, beech, ash, pine, linden. Sometimes - MDF.
The most plastic material, well suited for complex sculptural milling is beech.
Usually wood without vices, without cracks, rot and knots is chosen.
Modern sculptures and busts of wood are quickly and easily made on machines with numerical control (CNC). These devices are capable of creating a product of any complexity in a matter of hours. With photographic accuracy to repeat on the material any decor given by the 3D model. Including features of a person's face, guaranteeing portrait resemblance, demonstrating facial expression, mood, character.
Special attention is paid not only to the material (type of wood), but also to the cutters (cutting tools). Usually two types of cutters are used in sculptural cutting - one for roughing and the other for finish cutting. The choice of cutter also depends on the species of wood (hard, soft).
In some cases, minimal manual trimming and sanding of the finished product may be required.
When making busts and sculptures, every detail is important. After all, the smallest inaccuracies can change the features of the face and make it unrecognizable. Which is highly undesirable when making busts of famous people, movie characters, etc.
Stages of work:
To make carved wooden sculptures from wood you will need:
- 3d model of the future product
- Cutters and adjusted machine
- Material
Once you have a 3d stl file with a model of the future product, you will have to build a control program, load the machine into the work. Soon the product will be ready!
In the process of working on the workpiece milling cutter removes the bulk of the material and leaves the necessary, thus forming the features of the face, details of clothing in the bust or sculpture.
You can make any number of wooden busts and bas-reliefs from one model.
