This allows the faces to be mounted on plaques, yet\nstill be three dimensional.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tad wanted to make a plaque with opposing faces of the same\nmodel.&nbsp; We had just the right tools for the job.&nbsp; He learned how to\nuse the 3D scanner to create a computerized \u201cmesh\u201d model of the sculpture.&nbsp;\nThis was loaded into the 3D printer software and \u201cmirrored\u201d before\nprinting.&nbsp; It took about 10-12 hours for a complete reproduction!&nbsp;\nAll of this technology was new to Tad, but he fastidiously figured it out with\nhelp from 3D Lab staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"215\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12455\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian2.jpg 385w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian2.jpg?resize=300,224 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"215\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12463\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tad used epoxy to coat the printed face, smoothing the lines\nor \u201clayers\u201d introduced by 3D printing.&nbsp; Finer detail (such as hair\nstrands) was lost from the scanning process, so he carved fresh detail into the\n3D printed model.&nbsp; After that, he created a rubbery mold so the face could\nbe mass produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian4.jpg 385w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian4.jpg?resize=300,224 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian5.jpg 385w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/indian5.jpg?resize=300,224 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When he poured his first mold for a finished face, the\nresult was impressive, even from using a 3D printed master.&nbsp;

Tad was with us for several weeks to see the project to\ncompletion.&nbsp; But the end result was certainly worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last semester, the Charles E. Loehr Charitable Trust\nprovided funds to upgrade our heat press to a model that supports making things\nwith the dye sublimation process.&nbsp; This involves printing designs to a\n\u201cdye sub\u201d printer with special ink &amp; paper, allowing full-color images to\nbe heat pressed onto a variety of surfaces, notably textiles.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/35403-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/35403-2.png 500w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/35403-2.png?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/35403-2.png?resize=425,254 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this season, a community member wanted to make a\nbirthday gift for her daughter, notably custom hoodies with a special message\nand a unicorn!&nbsp; The process was easy.&nbsp; The graphics and lettering was\nprinted from Microsoft Word to the dye sub printer.&nbsp; These needed to be\n\u201creversed\u201d before printing, as they will become \u201cunreversed\u201d after transferring\nits image with the heat press.&nbsp; Special care was needed using the hoodie\nin the press; the plastic zipper had a tendency to melt!&nbsp; We used a\nspecial \u201cpillow\u201d to allow the zipper to sink into it, avoiding the direct heat\n&amp; pressure.&nbsp; The result was quite nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/hoodie1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/hoodie1.jpg 385w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/hoodie1.jpg?resize=300,224 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/hoodie2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/hoodie2.jpg 385w, https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/waynec3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1058\/2020\/02\/hoodie2.jpg?resize=300,224 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a year, the Baden Powell Institute hosts an event at\nthe Dalton Local Elementary &amp;
