Digital fabrication
From individual prototypes to large-scale creative objects, VERKIVA explores what digital fabrication can make possible for designers, businesses, artists, and individuals.
VERKIVA3D 1000R
The VERKIVA3D 1000R is a large-format printer for professional sculpture production. Its one-cubic-metre build volume makes it possible to print large forms in one piece when their size and geometry allow. This can reduce seams and the amount of assembly after printing.
Discuss your sculpture project
For sculptors, artists and exhibition producers who want to turn a digital model into a physical piece. We review scale, placement and the desired finish to determine how the sculpture can be printed and assembled.
The water-cooled printhead is designed for high material flow. The printer automatically compensates for unevenness in the build plate, detects filament runout and can resume printing after a power interruption.
The product sheet lists PETG composite and PETG PRO composite for outdoor objects, and ABS for indoor sculptures. Material selection depends on where the piece will be installed and how it will be used.
Machine specifications from the product sheet. Suitable print speed and layer height depend on the material, nozzle and model geometry.
In development. An integrated digital manufacturing system for large-scale sculptures. AI-assisted design, shell segmentation, steel frame planning and printing workflows connect the concept to assembly.
Bring a sketch, a model, or an idea. We’ll start with what the finished object needs to do.
Large decorative pieces, display objects, exhibition components, and custom structures.
Sculptural objects, artistic concepts, installations, and creative fabrication projects.
Physical models for architecture, exhibitions, presentations, and design communication.
Physical prototypes for concept evaluation, fit testing, and functional development.
Made-to-order components, specialized objects, and limited production runs.
Model preparation, design adjustments, and help turning concepts into files for fabrication.
Material and fabrication options are reviewed for each project.
We consider how the object will be used, along with its desired appearance and finish, before recommending a material.
A digital model guides the build. Orientation, surface texture, and visible layers are considered as part of the design.
Depending on the project, the approach may include printing in sections, fitting parts together, or exploring finishing options.
Illustrative projects showing how different objects can communicate an idea.
A study in repeating ribs and visible layers at a larger scale.
A physical model can make proportions, spaces, and sightlines easier to discuss.
Send a description, sketch, reference, or existing model.
We’ll review its intended use and consider ways to fabricate it.
Agree on the proposed direction and what will be delivered.
Produce and deliver the agreed result.
