Modern Technology for Modelling, Molding & Casting: 3D Technology-Silicones-Synthetique Resines-Silikone Lifelike Casting

The book covers all types of synthetic resins and silicones related to sculpture, visual arts, set design, film effects, modeling, decoration and art conservation. These procedures are broken down into five sections: 1. Materials Tools & Techniques: This section provides a brief overview of the history of silicones, synthetic resins, and new techniques in 3D imaging and printing. 2. Modeling: This section deliberately refers to traditional methods and techniques because they facilitate the understanding of modern modeling techniques such as 3D rendering and direct conjuring from a live model with a silicone body. The reference to modeling using 3D technology is enough to give the user a general idea of how the 3D modeling method works. This brief report is sufficient, but also necessary, if the interested party, who will make occasional use of 3D modeling and does not have sufficient technical knowledge or does not have the necessary equipment, wants to know what he wants, what to ask for and what he will get from an expert when assigned this task, before moving on to conjuration and reproduction. If, of course, someone wants to delve into this subject, in addition to acquiring the necessary equipment, they should look for it more, study it in any convenient way they can find in order to acquire the necessary know-how. 3. Casting: This section focuses mainly on silicone casting, while also looking at the classic "plaster split mold" method, which helps to understand all modern techniques, including those for 3D applications. 4. Casting & Reproduction with Synthetic Resins: This section begins by explaining the physical and chemical properties of synthetic resins in a relatively simplified manner to be understood by sculptors, modellers, visual artists, set designers, decorators, art conservators, etc. The primary objective of this chapter is to provide a detailed description of casting and reproduction processes using synthetic resins 5. Life Model Simulation: This module offers an in-depth description of the processes involved in replicating human models using silicone, either through silicone body casting or by applying 3D technology.
