Crafting a 3D model of the Great Lakes requires not only precise technical skill but also a true appreciation for these natural wonders. At Azimuth24, the journey begins with high-resolution data that captures the intricate contours and depths of each lake, ensuring that each model reflects the unique character of the waterway. This data is transferred into our 3D printing process, creating a highly detailed mold that lays the foundation for each lake model.
Once the 3D print is complete, the real artistry begins. Each model is carefully hand-filled with epoxy resin, which gives the lakes their vibrant and realistic finish. This isn't just a simple pour—the resin is expertly poured and then meticulously brushed along the shoreline by a trained hand, ensuring that each model reflects the accurate shoreline and flow. This hand-brushing technique captures the lake’s subtle topography, adding a depth that brings the water to life.
The result is a model that feels more like a living piece of the lake, filled with clarity and reflective qualities that enhance any space. Available in multiple sizes, each model is finished to create a polished, elegant look that captures the spirit of the Great Lakes, offering collectors and enthusiasts a chance to bring a touch of the natural world into their homes.
