3D Bronze Casting was a bronze casting project developed from a 3D file supplied by the client, as part of a sculptural production process based on digital models.

Mão de Fogo was responsible for the entire technical development of the project, beginning with in-house 3D printing using a specialised filament designed specifically for direct lost-wax casting. This approach enabled the printed model to move directly into the casting process without the need for intermediate moulds.

The work included the preparation of the model for casting, bronze production, and final finishing, ensuring fidelity to the original digital file and technical control throughout every stage of the process.

This project demonstrates Mão de Fogo’s ability to integrate digital modelling, 3D printing, and traditional foundry techniques, providing efficient technical solutions for artists and clients working from digital models.
