Polygonal statues and figurines: features, 3D models for manufacturing on a CNC or 3D printer

Polygonal shapes are so popular and so interesting that we couldn’t pass by without devoting a separate article to them. Moreover, on our website you can buy 3D models for making such statues and figurines on CNC machines or 3D printers. This means making your own trendy and in-demand figures.

What are polygonal shapes?

Polygonal shapes are a real trend! They are in wide demand and are becoming a real hit in various fields.

Applicable in:

• Fine arts
• Landscape design
• In advertising
• In interior and exterior decoration
• In window dressing
• In urban spaces, when decorating parks, squares, embankments
• And so on.
• Both miniature figurines and entire statues are popular.

Their key feature is that they are not made with extreme precision and photographic quality, as was customary in the classical style. Realism fades into the background here. And on the first, only the basic shape, the familiar outlines, remains.

At the same time, the sculptures themselves are created from a large number of triangles and polygons. That is why such figures are called polygonal. After all, a polygon is a plane constructed by connecting three or more vertices.

An interesting variety of polygonal figures are figurines and statues made as if from threads randomly wound around a form, from lace, from perforated plates, and even from crumpled paper. In this case, the silhouette of a person, animal, heart or any other well-known object is guessed. Such figures can also be made on a CNC machine or 3D printer.

A few facts about the style, how did it appear?

The style arose in connection with the development of computer games and 3D graphics. After all, this is exactly how entire computer universes are created. Including our 3D models!

After all, any 3D model, any element in a computer toy is created from a large number of such triangular polygons (or pixels).

Low poly graphics or polygonal 3D graphics allow you to create entire universes. And it was in this technique that the first worlds in virtual reality were created.

First, three-dimensional sculptures in this style appeared in the West.

One of the leading French sculptors and neo-pop artists, Richard Orlinsky is one of the top 10 best-selling artists. It was he who presented such popular heroes as King Kong and Superman in the style of pop art, that is, in a polygonal design. He invented and developed many polygonal figures serving advertising purposes, souvenirs, decoration for store windows, interior design and landscape design.

Another famous sculptor working in this style is Ben Foster. He creates sculptures from metal (steel and aluminum). Most often, finished products are painted white.

The third name is Matt Hill. This artist works in Australia. He chose weather-resistant steel with a “rust” effect as the main material for his sculptural compositions.

Today, many artists, sculptors, and private workshops work in polygonal technology.

Which is not surprising. Demand creates supply.

Moreover, you can make polygonal figurines or entire statues yourself.

All you need is a 3D model of the future product, suitable material and a CNC machine or 3D printer.

Manufacturing on CNC machines and 3D printers:

You can select a ready-made model on the website, buy it and build a control program for the machine. Next, the device will autonomously cut the product from wood, stone, glass, metal, and other materials.

Or order a 3D model, and we will develop it according to your individual project!

In addition, our models can be used in the manufacture of plastic products on a 3D printer.

Finished products can be painted, varnished, gilded, artificially aged, and so on, depending on the customer’s ideas.

In addition, the polygonal figure can be decorated with LED strip or built-in decorative lighting. In this case, the product will become even more attractive and interesting.
