3-D Musings
[1]

W

HILE THE HYPE of 3-D
printing has somewhat
cooled off over the last
year as more and more
companies are experimenting with the
technology, the results never cease to amaze us.
From 3-D-printed products to pop-up shops (see
page 36) to clothing, the advances in 3-D printing
technologies continue to make our creative minds
race with the excitement of possibility.
Better yet, 3-D printing is making processes
more efficient and cost-effective now, too. Take
Los Angeles-based mannequin manufacturer
Greneker, which has been revolutionizing the
way it creates a number of its mannequins over
the last three to four years thanks to 3-D printing. "The process is a great way to create [the
human form] with technical accuracy and is
beneficial to the customer by allowing them to
take an active part in the creation of the digital
sculpts," explains David Naranjo, vice president
of creative for Greneker. "It also allows them to
see, via web-sharing devices, the 3-D versions
without leaving their office. Once the digitals are
approved, we create mini versions to send for review and approval prior to pulling the trigger on
full-scale models. From these models, we create
a prototype and then a production tool to start
casting parts."
Recently, in an effort to showcase its latest capabilities with its 3-D printers and to encourage
customers to think outside the typical mannequin
box, Greneker decided to create a set of unique
poses in quarter scale to show the possibilities and
inspire creativity in new pose development for a
specific client.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKED:
[ 1 ] Naranjo says the team was inspired by
the world of dance and used famed ballerina
Misty Copeland as their muse, selecting poses
that evoked a sense of drama and uniqueness.
[ 2 ] Using a 3-D software program, digital bodies

were created replicating the size and musculature
of their muse.
[ 3 ] The digital body was manipulated into the
inspiration pose by Greneker's sculptor Daniel
Stocks under Naranjo's direction.
[ 4 ] Once satisfied with the final pose, the team
began the printing process. In quarter-scale, this
process took approximately 12 hours to complete (a full-sized mannequin print, depending
on complexity, can be completed in as little as
24 hours).
[ 5 ] After printing is complete, parts are assembled, sanded, primed and painted. (For a full-sized
mannequin, fittings are installed, so parts can be
dressed to check clothing fit.)
[ 6 ] The final results are authentic to the original inspiration, dramatic and unique-not to
mention fast!
