3D-printed skull
Customer: The Royal Theatre
Project: 3D Printed Prop
Performance: Under Dybet
Size: 6.7 meters high
Printed Weight: 450 kg
In collaboration with The Royal Theatre and KulturHåndværket, we created a 3D printed skull for the ballet “Under Dybet” on the main stage in the Opera House, Copenhagen.
It was crucial that the skull was lightweight so that it could be easily pushed across the stage, and that the weight per square meter was adhered to for safety reasons. At the same time, it had to be robust enough to be climbed and sat on, and finally, it had to be aesthetically appealing to fit into the spectacular scenography.

Process
By 3D-printing, we were able to meet the theater’s needs and create a prop that was both lightweight, strong, and aesthetically pleasing.
The skull was divided into several printable sections, allowing us to achieve a wall thickness of 3-5 millimeters, resulting in a lightweight construction while maintaining a high level of detail.
All prints were post-processed by KulturHåndværket, ensuring compliance with fire regulations and creating an impressive overall appearance.
Materials
450 kg of recycled plastic, rPLA, sourced from recycled food packaging, was transformed into a 6.7-meter-tall skull.
