Hermannsdenkmal

The model was specially built for a mav contest (german) at the AMB trade fair in Stuttgart – in keeping with the theme “Landmark of the industry”. Visitors to the AMB trade fair have the opportunity to see the impressive Hermannsdenkmal model live in the Atrium at the east entrance.

In order to create a larger model at all, a true-to-scale miniature statue of Hermann was first purchased and then scanned using a 3D scanner. The virtual model of Hermann was taken as a template and covered with a new shell consisting of only a few polygons. Polygons created in this way were now transferred to sheet metal, which could be manufactured very precisely with a TRUMPF laser cutting machine. In addition to the outer shell, a inner supporting structure was built up, which made it much easier to assemble the model and also ensured a high degree of stability for the model. Gradually, the parts were welded together and finally the entire model was coated with clear paint.
