THE BISON
Artalysis was approached by a customer with a request to build a life-size bison that looked and felt like a bronze sculpture for a new visitor center at Armand Bayou Nature Center in Pasadena, Texas. Using a 6” plastic bison toy, Artalysis scanned, designed, modified, scaled, printed, processed, shipped, and assembled the full 6 foot tall bison on-site. Afterwards, Artalysis along the customer applied their bronzing process to the bison to resemble a bronze sculpture.

Step 1: SCANNING
Received 6” bison model from customer. Using a 3D scanner, Artalysis was able to capture all details and create solid 3D data that was ready for design.
THE PROCESS
Step 2: DESIGN
Artalysis used solid 3D data from the scanning process to make minor customer-requested modifications to the bison before scaling the bison to 6 feet tall.
Step 3: PRINTS
Artalysis printed the bison in 8 pieces to allow for easier processing and assembly. Each piece retained the resolution and detail from the original 6” bison model.
Step 4: PROCESSING (CLEANING PRINTS)
The bison underwent the processing phase at Artalysis.
Step 5: DISSASSEMBLED
After processing, each piece was laid out and went through quality inspections.
Step 6: ASSEMBLED AT ARTALYSIS
The bison was assembled at Artalysis for further quality inspections and fit tests. Following this, Artalysis disassembled, packaged and shipped the bison pieces to the customer.
Step 7: FINAL (BRONZE)
The customer with the help of Artalysis assembled the bison on site and finished the bronzing process.
