How to Make Pattern for Foundry Use

As an sculptor, you create a sculpture and foundry help you reproduce your work with another medium, usually a type of metal such as bronze, aluminum, zinc, etc.

To help an art foundry finish their job, a sculptor needs to provide them with an original work in a proper form. We call the original work you give foundry a master pattern.

Usually, a pattern is all a foundry need to cast metal. Generally, master pattern can be made with two ways.

For small scale project, a sculptor can create the pattern himself. We will discuss the material and way to create pattern in next articles.

Or

For large scale project, a sculptor only need to sculpt a scale Maquette, which is a small preliminary model, and let the foundry know how large you want the maquette to scale up. As far as the foundry knows the size of the final sculpture, they have two options to enlarge it, by manual or by a CNC router. There are pros and cons of these two ways.

 

ProsCons
Traditional wayIt can capture details of the original work. Sometimes it’s more economical than a CNC router. (its material is clay and it’s reusable)It’s time consuming.
Unless the enlargement is done by professional patternmaking team, the accuracy of scaled sculpture can’t be guaranteed.
CNC RouterIt’s faster. ( actually, it depends on the type of CNC router )
The accuracy of scaled enlargement is generally guaranteed.
For those sculptures requiring very fine details, the machine may not carve it.
Sometimes it’s expensive especially when you use pricy polyurethane.

Below are two examples using these two methods.

  1. Are you retracting, then, your earlier post and carefully reiterated steps? From your latest post (June 12, 2012 at 8:50 am), it appears that the crux of the matter is: Can AT&T or Verizon or other phone service companies detect the iPhone as a SMARTPHONE with the new (non smartphone) SIM card? Well, can they? Can ALL companies Verizon, etc. or just AT&T? Is a functioning SIM card in every non-smartphone? I currently have service with Verizon and have a dumbphone. Can I buy a (any model) Verizon iPhone and take a SIM card from my current dumbphone and insert it in a new (any model) Verizon iPhone, and not get “detected” as a smartphone?

  7. Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

    for a couple of years, you can invest in a dresser to use for many
    years. Install a contour changing pad on top and add a
    baby organizational kit to the side and you’ll be good to go for long after your little one is potty trained..

    clip in extensions If you were using a different armature wire, like 3/16”, then you would use a 3/16th drill bit. It is normal to tweak the pose during the clay stages as well, which is why you want to use an armature that is sturdy, yet flexible enough, to allow tweaks as during the clay stage. The last thing you would want to do is to use pliers when you have clay on your piece clip in extensions..

    hair extensions The honorable thing is to fulfill your duty to your wife that you took upon yourself the day
    you got married. It is the duty of a man to provide for
    his family. Never expect your wife to contribute to the smooth operation of
    the household. Katy Perry’s natural hair color is blonde,
    but you’d never know it from the rainbow of colors
    she has sported on her head. Though she seems
    to always go back to black, more recently she’s been wearing bright blue and hot pink do’s, which we feel are best left to experimental teens.
    But she’s also been a blonde, a redhead and everything in between,
    and she’s worn them all quite well hair extensions..
