PARC3D used a Calibry 3D scanner to create a sculpture of a firefighter
PARC3D used a Calibry 3D scanner to create a sculpture of a firefighter
A man in a firefighter's uniform was digitized with a Calibry 3D scanner and then a metal sculpture was printed on a 3D printer.
Parc3D company specializes in the production of metal art objects using 3D technologies.
This time they created a sculpture dedicated to firefighters, rescuers and vigilantes who took part in extinguishing forest fires in the summer of 2010. A Calibry 3D scanner and a 3D printer specially developed by Parc3D for metal printing were used in the manufacture of the sculpture.
Monument to the fires of summer 2010
The summer of 2010 was remembered for the large-scale fires that covered a total of twenty regions of the country. In some areas, the flames were coming so fast that people barely had time to leave their homes.
The sculptural composition dedicated to these events consists of a welded background structure and two figures. The main character is a firefighter who, restraining the onslaught of flames, covered a fawn (a symbol of wildlife).
Just like in the previous project, the human sculpture was created using 3D technology. A man in a firefighter’s uniform was digitized with a Calibry 3D scanner. Then the model was printed on a 3D printer. The fawn was created in Zbrush, and the wall was created in Fusion 360.

"The monument reflects a historic milestone in the changing attitudes towards security issues that have occurred over the past decade. We can see how much the citizens value this memory, and together we are ready to withstand any emergency and cataclysm," commented Valery Sinkov, head of the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
