Art, History & Hollywood

Discover how our industry leading technology is shaping the future of the creative arts. Our unique insight has helped a number of contemporary artists reduce their development costs and boost both commercial and creative performances.

ART, HISTORY & HOLLYWOOD

BDI Precision supports a number of leading contemporaneity artist with 3D scanning services. We are able to 3D scan many different types of materials such as: stone, wood, clay, metal, foam, plastic, glass and even porcelain. We use the very latest aerospace none contact scanning technology to achieve amazing 3D scans, which can be accurate up to 0.3mm. Such accuracy usually enables us to capture an Artists touch and expression.

We are able to 3D scan objects upwards of 15cm. Once scanned, objects can be digitally re-scaled to the desired physical output size.

APPLIED TECHNOLOGY

Using CAD software often employed in the gaming and film industries we can remaster your mesh data to reduce file size whilst maintaining detail.

We can also convert scan data into NURBS surface data for use in parametric software. This allows the continuity of surfaces to be improved and ultimately can result in an enhanced printed or CNC produced model.

We can then either use CNC milling to produce larger physical mould masters, or 3D printing to produce smaller physical mould masters.

Finally, the output mould masters are carefully hand finished ready for the final bronze casting stage, or whatever output medium the client requires. Hence, 3D scanning sculpture is a real game changer for Artists and Sculptors, as it enables high detail limited edition copies to be produced at virtually any scale!

Our in house printers can print directly in wax allowing designs to be iterated easily and investment cast to be made with fine details.

DIGITAL ARTISTRY

BDI Precision has exactly the right digital tools for the job, and we really know how to use them. Our team draw on software used in 3D animation to produce sculptural parts as well as parametric engineering software for technical tight tolerance parts.

Using a wide range of CAD software allows us to take on the most challenging reverse engineering and sculptural CAD design challenges. These models can then be used to reproduce highly detailed parts by a number of production techniques. If you need NURBS data or you want to develop some specific geometry from your scan data we are very happy to help with that too.
