We all know that a mannequin, a person can easily hold up, why so light? Isn't it said that it is made in the proportions of a normal human being? Then we will throw away to see, in fact, the middle is empty, the material as long as it is fibreglass, so it is very light when you take it.
Some models are customized according to customer requirements, the demand for a variety of poses are not the same, so it, the craftsman will first make out a metal skeleton to, with this skeleton, plaster and fibreglass only have a place to attach, so do the principle is that, the first stereotypes, after the body. Because the mould is poured directly from the clay, so the masters also use a dampened cloth to carefully wipe out the skin of the mannequin. Everyone pay attention to the production process.
In the past when doing clothing mannequins, masters in order to mannequins more realistic, pinching the face, will find a real mannequin one to one ratio to take samples, the following this motionless mannequin, motionless, we do not want to think of the finished product, this is a real person. In order to facilitate the back of the assembly and production of mannequin mould, need to give the whole mannequin split into several parts, head, arms, legs, body, and other major parts, which can also be directly into the back of the legs display, hands display, half body male mannequin. and then use an aluminium bar to separate, do a reverse mould of the division line. After making the dividing line, start to splash a layer of plaster water on the clay body, at present, it is the exterior, and then you can see the content of the inside when you invert the mould. When the plaster has not set, it's time to paste it with fibreglass to add to the shell that holds the mould in place.
After the plaster and fibreglass have solidified, it can be removed from the mould, front and back, not in one piece, but separately from where the aluminium was cut into the mould. By the time we get to the final production, we already know that the mannequin is actually a hollow fibreglass shell. In the actual production, the fibreglass was applied one by one, after a layer of adhesive was applied to the plaster cast. Fibreglass after fibreglass is collaged and covered, spreading all over the inside of the plaster cast, and then dried to form the final shell. A whole mannequin of individual parts, waiting to be sent off to have the outer surfaces sanded. The outer surfaces of the parts are sanded on a sanding machine, this step is to be smooth - to make it easier for the paint to adhere later. The big parts will be sprayed into custom colours. I've seen more white models on the market, and I've also seen yellow models when I was in the factory. A lot of common choice of white, I guess it is to set off the clothes more conspicuous.
