Sant Joan de Deu Hospital brings superheroes to life with HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solutions
Customer at a glance
“The Brave Brigade” is an initiative from Sant Joan de Deu Hospital that invites pediatric patients in the hospital to use their imaginations to create 3D printed figurines of superheroes, with the help of world-class comics professionals. The work process consisted of group sessions with the children and the cartoonists during which they created stories of six superheroes: Strongess, SuperGarr, Reina Alada, Dra Gema, RepairMan, and Sparta XXII.
Challenge
The statues that are already available commercially are of a very high quality, with exceptional mechanical properties, light weights, and detailed features. They are usually made using liquid resin solidification, mold creation, and plastic injection techniques for the more common designs. These processes allow for intricate color and detail, but they involve large-scale production processes that only make sense for mass distribution, whereas this project would only produce 12 units (two of each character).
The level of quality required to attract the right consumer target was not possible with just any additive manufacturing technology as some 3D printing technologies have two main shortcomings: First, the techniques that allow a high-resolution model (resin cooling) do not allow the application of color, except through manual painting. Second, the techniques that allow color printing may reduce the resolution of physical details and often have low mechanical properties.
Upon learning about HP Multi Jet Fusion technology and the HP Jet Fusion 580 Color 3D Printer, Sant Joan de Deu Hospital was intrigued as to whether the technology could help them produce these detailed figurines.
