Meet through ten thousand years,3D printing Mammoth

Mammoths, also known as woolly mammoths.It was once one of the largest elephants in the world and one of the largest mammals to ever live on land, including the savannah mammoth, which weighed up to 12 tons.It is a behemoth of the ice age.

Mammoths became extinct 10, 000 years ago because of changes in their habitat. Today, only fossils and permafrost mammoth remains can be imagined as mammoth.

But 3D printing could bring this behemoth back to life.Let’s take a look at some of the mammoth decorations bosideng has recently created for its down jackets at our company.

This is the head of a mammoth. The tusks are broken.Clients wanted to use 3D printing to repair the ivory part and provided two 3D drawings of the ivory.Since the size of the tusks is not accurate, the client mailed the entire elephant head to measure the actual size for later assembly.

This is a 3D model file of ivory, one meter long, exceeding the printer’s maximum printing size.
We split each ivory into two parts for printing, and the section is made into sawtooth shape to increase the bonding contact area and ensure the firmness of adhesion.

This is the final finished ivory. When cementing it, we use quick-drying adhesive to connect it firstly, and then use slow-drying adhesive to fill the gaps of each contact surface. After the glue sets, polish the excess parts to level off. Thus finished seam is very strong and almost imperceptible if you don’t look at it carefully.

The mammoth is a perfect match for bosideng, the puffer jacket manufacturer that warms the world.

Since the customer was so satisfied with the finished result of the two large ivory tusks, the story follows:

Bosideng and mammoth meet through ten thousand years .

Thanks for 3D printing!
