Caracal ltd production!

Impressive production by Caracal & son Ltd! The scan looks very good and you have done a great job cutting away the excess plastic. I am sure the painting is going to be fantastic too.

Than you very much Roger!

 Thank you Yvette!

My fossas production is a a little increasing since "my" Béatrice went to a fablab 3 times to learn 3D print and finely bought a 3D printer!

 She also printed my Homotherium at a more little scale (see original model on the previous page):

  the material used is solid P.L.A. plastic made with corn! :)

This is fascinating! I didn't realise the 3D printers could scan sculptures like this. They look great!

  Thank you for your comment bjarki12!

Very very nice job, I can't wait to watch them painted

WOnderful fossas

Many thanks to you both Christophe and Andreas!

A 3D printer in your family! That's great news . And you can make figures to scale, even better news .

that's fantastic Alain! huge congratulations on making Caracal Ltd Productions a real family venture

so, can I ask - are these new ones still printed with the very strong plastic like the first 2 models?

and it is incredible that you can scale them to print them to size

it would be interesting to know how easy it is to cut/remove the plastic on 1/32nd scale figures, so I suppose the strength of the plastic would be everything at that small size

Congratulations again!!

Thank you  Roger and Annette for your enthousiastic comment!  
My son is not sure of the  plastic used for the 2 frst very white models. But it is a very light and solid one, probably PLA one. The plastic we used to print the models at home is P.L.A. one, light and solid too but that can be damaged by hight warmness ( more than 60 degrees). It is a plastic made with corn!

To get out residual plastic is not too difficult and yes to choose the scale is wonderful !

That is very exciting! How does the scanning works, can you scan a composition figure?

Thank you Rogério!    I can print models til 20/20/15cm so I can  print most of compo figures.. :)
