Fiberglass is one of the commonly used materials in sculpture production, widely used in various scenarios such as public art sculptures, large outdoor sculptures, home decor, and art exhibitions.

The main advantages of fiberglass sculpture:

1. High design freedom: fiberglass can be used to make sculptures of various shapes and sizes, providing artists with a wide range of creative space.
2. Strong weather resistance: it resists the effects of UV rays, wind and rain and other natural environments, and therefore has excellent weather resistance.
3. Short production process: Compared with other materials, the production process of fiberglass sculpture is relatively short, saving time and cost.
4. Lightweight and easy to transport: Fiberglass sculpture is relatively lightweight, easy to transport and on-site installation, reducing the pressure on logistics.

Steps in making fiberglass sculpture:

1. Design Determination: Firstly, the artist provides the design sketch or 3D model file of the sculpture, this stage is crucial as it determines the final appearance and details of the sculpture.
2. Modeling: Based on the design, a physical model of the sculpture is made, which can be made from materials such as clay, resin or hard foam. This model should be a 1:1 scale version of the sculpture for subsequent production reference.
3. Fiberglass Preparation: Fine fiberglass filaments or fabrics are coated with resin to enhance their strength and hardness.
4. Coating the model: Place the resin-impregnated fiberglass into the model, making sure to fully cover the surface of the model; multiple coats may be required to increase the thickness of the sculpture.
5. Curing and Hardening: The sculpture needs to be cured and hardened in the mold, usually through heat or the use of special chemicals, in order to harden the resin and form the structure of the sculpture.
6. Demolding: Once the sculpture is fully hardened, the mold is carefully removed to prevent damage to the sculpture.
7. Trimming and Refining: Trimming and refining of the sculpture may be required to ensure a smooth surface and fine detail. Surface Treatment: According to the design requirements, the sculpture is painted or coated with special layers to enhance its appearance.
8. Completion: Finally, the sculpture is packaged and ready for transportation and installation in the proper location.

In recent years, stainless steel sculptures have attracted more and more attention, especially outdoor sculptures and public art installations. Generally speaking, the production process of stainless steel sculptures is divided into the following steps.

1. Design: The first step in making a stainless steel sculpture is to come up with a design. Designs can be sketched on paper or created using 3D model files such as obj, stl, step, cad, etc. files.
2. Material Selection: Stainless steel is a popular sculpture material because of its durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. The type of stainless steel used for sculpture depends on the desired finish and level of corrosion resistance.
3. Make the model: Based on the design, decide to make a rigid foam model or a 3D printed model. Typically, for smaller sculptures, a 3D printed model is more suitable as it is more precise. For larger sculptures, hard foam models are a more economical option.
4. Cutting: After the design and model are determined, use a plasma cutting machine, water jet cutting machine or laser cutting machine to cut the stainless steel plate into several sections.
5. Forging: Forge the profile into a suitable shape according to the model. This is a step that tests the master’s skill, so it must be completed by an experienced and skilled master. This is also the most important step to complete a high-quality stainless steel sculpture.
6. Assembly and welding: After forging, put all the parts together and then use TIG or MIG welding technology to weld them together to form the desired shape. This requires skill and precision to ensure the seams are smooth and strong.
7. Grinding and polishing: The weld is then ground to create a smooth surface.
8. Surface treatment: Depending on the required finish, the sculpture surface can be mirror-finished, making it glossy, smooth and highly reflective.
9. On-site installation: The final step is to transport and install the sculpture at the intended location and install it using a concrete foundation or mounting system.

The exact fabrication process may vary depending on the size, complexity, and design of the sculpture. It is also important to work with a skilled and experienced fabricator who has extensive knowledge of stainless steel processing to ensure that the sculpture is of high quality and will stand the test of time.

This is a group of very cute cartoon art images，which is called Namito. They are made of stainless steel and bronze respectively. Different materials are matched with different surface treatment to show the diversity of works of art from different angles. Stainless steel and bronze are also the two most commonly used materials for making sculptures. They are popular for their corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, especially their lifespan can last as long as a hundred years.

Wearing a bunny outfit, with her hands in her pockets, eyes closed, and her small mouth puckered, it is really fashion and cute. This group of sculptures comes from one of the representative works of the young trendy artist Zhang Ge. Zhang Ge said that through this artistic image, she conveyed her love for this career. Namito, like herself, loves beauty, loves adventure, is independent, and pursues freedom. Break the shackles of tradition and boldly make artworks come alive.

In late July, the Yili Group joined with the Not Gallery to create “An Examination of the Drowning” on the seaside of Weihai, Shangdong province. The sea level is rising as a result of excessive carbon emissions in human life, flooding school desks and eventually our lives.

A 6.5 metre high desk sculpture stands in the shallow sea, with rows of smaller desks lined up in a timeline, gradually submerged by the sea. This test is called “0 Carbon Future”, calling people protecting the earth and the ecological environment. Low carbon living for a better future.

Stainless steel sculptures are becoming more and more popular, especially as outdoor urban sculptures. Due to the nature of its material, it has a good resistance to high temperatures and corrosion.

This beautiful sculpture comes from an excellent Chinese artist and is interconnected with rounded curves to present an abstract hovering dragon shape in a natural and comfortable way.
