The Brief
To produce 3 identical models of the Bearbrick toy at 2 metres tall directly from the clients 3D CAD model data within 2 weeks. Medicom, the original designers and owners of the Bearbricks brand, insisted that the 3D models were a faithful copy of the toy.
The Solution
The model was broken down into components. The head, torso, arms and legs were 3D CNC machined in a low density foam directly from the 3D CAD model data.
Assembly followed hand finishing and painting just in time to meet the client’s product launch date in central London.
