HENK DAWSON / 3D ARTIST

3D Print for the Space Needle

Wacom made this video covering a 3D printing job that I did for the Space Needle. Storyline Studio did the exhibit work and I created three models: the foundation, the construction, and the complete model.

This is the CAD file for the foundation sculpture that was sent to the 3D printer.

 

This is the printed file. It shows the 30' deep foundation of the Space Needle.

 

The third and most complicated model was the completed Space Needle how it looked in 1962.
