Whether you're a dinosaur enthusiast or simply looking for an impressive piece of art, this sculpture is sure to amaze. Whether adding a touch of prehistoric fascination to your home or stimulating conversation in your workspace, this Surophaganax sculpture is a real treasure that will captivate minds of all ages.
Surophaganax is a large theropod dinosaur that lived around 150 million years ago, during the Upper Jurassic period, in what is now North America. Its name, meaning "swamp killer", evokes both its predatory nature and the environment in which it lived.
It was first discovered in the 1990s in the US state of Oklahoma. The fossils found have enabled paleontologists to reconstruct a fairly accurate picture of this animal. It is classified in the Allosauridae family, a group of large carnivorous theropods related to the famous Allosaurus.
Surophaganax was a massive predator, measuring around 10 to 12 meters in length and probably weighing several tons. Its features included large claws on its forelimbs, a massive head filled with sharp teeth and a powerful tail that could have been used for balance when hunting or in combat.
Like many carnivorous dinosaurs, it is assumed that Surophaganax actively hunted its prey, probably large herbivores such as sauropods. Its habitat probably consisted of vast plains or swampy forests, where it could have found an abundance of food.
Manufacturing settings
3D printing :
Material: PLA (polylactic acid) or ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printing, or resin for SLA (Stereolithography) printing.
Layer thickness: Between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm for a good balance between quality and printing time.
Filling: Between 10% and 20% to save material while maintaining part strength.
Extrusion temperature: Between 190Β°C and 220Β°C for PLA, and between 220Β°C and 250Β°C for ABS.
Laser / CNC cutting :
Material: wood, acrylic, polystyrene foam or expanded PVC for laser cutting; wood, plastic, aluminum or polystyrene foam for CNC cutting.
Material thickness: Depends on the specific material used, but generally between 1 mm and 10 mm for laser cutting, and between 1 mm and 50 mm for CNC cutting.
Cutting speed: Depends on material and thickness, but generally between 100 mm/s and 1000 mm/s for laser cutting, and between 1000 mm/min and 10,000 mm/min for CNC cutting.
Laser / cutter power: Varies according to material and thickness, but generally between 10% and 100% of maximum power for laser cutting, and between 10,000 RPM and 30,000 RPM for CNC cutting.
It's important to always adjust these parameters according to your specific equipment and project requirements. In addition, be sure to take into account the recommendations of the manufacturer of your 3D printer or laser / CNC cutting machine to achieve the best results.
