Production Process
1. Drawing
Creating detailed sketches or blueprints of the sculpture design, outlining its shape, dimensions, and features.
2. Modeling
Building a 3D model or prototype to visualize the sculpture, either digitally or with physical materials like clay or foam.
3. Cutting
Using precision tools or lasers to cut stainless steel sheets or pieces into the required shapes for the sculpture.
4. Forging
Shaping the metal through heating and hammering to form intricate or larger components of the sculpture.
5. Welding
Joining the individual metal pieces together by fusing them with heat, ensuring a seamless and strong bond in the final sculpture.
6. Polishing
Smoothing and refining the surface of the stainless steel sculpture to achieve a glossy, mirror-like finish or a more subtle, matte texture.
7. Coloring
Applying color treatments, such as electroplating, powder coating, or specialized paints to sculpture.
