Client's Requirement:The customer required a fully customized trophy sculpture based on a reference design featuring two characters. In addition to the trophy image, the customer supplied photographs of two individuals whose faces needed to be accurately incorporated into the trophy characters. The key challenge was to translate real human facial characteristics onto stylized trophy forms while maintaining recognizability, aesthetic balance, and manufacturability. The customer also required a premium gold finish and a custom nameplate, making the project both technically and visually demanding. Technical Challenges Accurately adapting real facial features to pre-defined character geometry Maintaining facial detail and expression after 3D printing and post-processing Ensuring feature clarity despite surface finishing and metallic coating Achieving a high-end, uniform gold finish suitable for an award presentation Delivering a completely personalized final product within design constraints trophy scan Solution:Our engineering and design team developed a custom 3D sculpting workflow to integrate the provided facial references into the trophy characters. Facial proportions, contours, and expressions were carefully refined through multiple design iterations to ensure a natural fit with the original character design. The model was then optimized for high-resolution 3D printing, with special attention given to facial depth, edge definition, and surface continuity to preserve detail after finishing. Post-printing, the trophy underwent professional surface preparation followed by a premium gold coating. A custom nameplate was added to complete the personalization. 3d printed trophy Results Delivered a fully customized, high-quality trophy sculpture Facial features remained clearly recognizable and well-defined after printing Premium gold finish enhanced durability and visual appeal Final product met the customer’s aesthetic, personalization, and quality expectations Technologies Used High-resolution 3D modeling and digital sculpting Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) Precision 3D printing Surface finishing and metallic gold coating Custom nameplate integration Value to the CustomerThis project demonstrates our ability to combine engineering precision with artistic detailing, enabling the production of bespoke, presentation-grade components. The customer received a one-of-a-kind trophy that accurately reflected individual identities while maintaining a premium, professional finish. Published by: CAD Deziners https://caddeziners.com.au/
