The Journey to Recreating the Giant Brachiosaurus with 3DS

Brachiosaurus – the giant of the Jurassic era – has been reborn in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City! Far more than just a dinosaur replica, the project at SAURUS Coffee & Gallery stands as a powerful testament to how 3D technology can bring bold ideas to life. Standing 6 meters tall, weighing nearly 1 ton, and backed by a VND 5 billion investment, this Brachiosaurus model is not only visually stunning but also a showcase of world-class manufacturing technology. But the journey to creating this colossal creature was far from simple – and that’s when 3DS stepped in to make it happen.

The Journey to Recreating the Giant Brachiosaurus with 3DS

Challenges Faced by 3DS

From the very beginning, the project faced a series of major challenges:

  • Size and complexity: Building a life-sized model of such enormous scale required exceptional precision in every detail — along with a flawless assembly process.

  • Rejected by international firms: Several foreign companies declined the project, citing technological limitations, logistical constraints, and concerns over its feasibility.

  • Balancing aesthetics and durability: The model had to be not only highly realistic but also structurally durable for long-term public display.

In the face of these obstacles, 3D Smart Solutions proved one thing: that Vietnamese innovation can achieve what even international firms turned down.

A Breakthrough Solution by 3DS

Starting with a modest 30cm dinosaur figurine, the 3DS team engineered a remarkable leap – scaling it up to a towering 6 meters and transforming a small concept into a spectacular centerpiece.

The process began with 3D scanning technology, used to digitize the original model and create a highly accurate digital replica. This data was then refined using advanced design software, ensuring that every curve, contour, and posture of the Brachiosaurus was perfectly proportioned.

Once the digital model was finalized, high-resolution SLA 3D printers at 3D Manufacturer took over. Each part of the Brachiosaurus was printed with near-perfect precision, resulting in smooth surfaces and stunning detail, even at a massive scale. Thanks to a specialized printing mode, the individual pieces were not only visually impressive but also engineered for seamless assembly – creating a dinosaur model that looks flawless from every angle.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Digitizing the Dinosaur Model
Starting from a 30cm-tall figurine, 3DS used 3D scanning technology to create a precise digital version, which was then scaled up to full size through detailed modeling.
Step 2: Structural Design and Optimization
The 3D scan data was processed using specialized design software to ensure every detail - from posture to surface texture - was engineered with precision.
Step 3: 3D Printing Individual Components
The full-scale model was divided into smaller segments and fabricated using SLA 3D printing technology. This approach ensured high accuracy and seamless alignment during assembly.
Step 4: Post-Processing and Assembly
After printing, each part underwent surface finishing and was carefully assembled using advanced techniques, resulting in a polished and cohesive final masterpiece.

Starting with a 30cm dinosaur model, 3D Smart Solutions used advanced 3D scanning technology to digitize the original form. The digital model was then refined and scaled up to a towering 6 meters using professional CAD software. Next, the full-sized Brachiosaurus was brought to life at 3D Manufacturer using SLA 3D printing technology. With a special printing mode and high-resolution SLA process, each component was crafted with remarkable precision and smooth surface quality.
