A 4.2-meter-tall blue lion appeared at the entrance of the newly completed Olympic Stadium in Lyon, France (aka Bright Stadium). The stadium with 58,927 seats is home to the famous French football club, Lyon Olympic Football Club, and will be one of the 2016 European Championships. It is understood that this magnificent lion was printed by local startup Draven using its large-size robotic arm 3D printer Galatea. There are also three 3D printed lions that are also 4.2 meters high and are red, white and golden in color. They are also in the process of production and are expected to be completed by April of this year. Drawn is a company that Charpiot invested 100,000 euros and borrowed 100,000 euros from a bank. The company's main business is to use its Galatea 3D printer to customize 3D printed furniture and home decorations. In 2015, the company also successfully raised 27,706 euros on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. In mid-2015, Charpiot heard that the Olympic Park Stadium was looking for a company to create four large mascots outside the stadium. So Charpiot quickly sent some samples and got a positive response from the other party. Drawn mainly uses the robotic arm-based Galatea 3D printer to print these lions. Although the machine has the ability to 3D print large objects, each lion is still composed of multiple parts, the light 3D printing time takes 480 hours, which means the machine needs 20 days to run without interruption, and needs more than 600 Hours of time for post processing. The entire lion weighed 1.5 tons after completion. Fortunately, the contract with the stadium allowed Charpiot to hire five new employees to help him with the task. It is understood that every 3D printed lion is made by the French construction company Na? o Designed, they are 4.2 meters high. It takes a lot of time and material to manufacture using traditional methods, but it is just right for 3D printing. Drawn company founder Sylvain Charpiot explained that there is no waste of material using 3D printing technology and everything can be done locally. In fact, Drown's studio is only 10 kilometers from the stadium. Jean-Michel Aulas, owner of the Lyon Olympic team, is not disguising that local start-ups can do this breakthrough work: "Given the size of the sculpture is 4.2 meters, this is the world's number one. The Lyon Olympic team is very Proud to support Lyon's high-level innovation start-ups, we believe that these guardian lions will become a true symbol of the fans' love. Once completed, these four 3D printed giant mascots will be placed in the four orientations of the stadium, guarding this huge arena, and as a symbol of pride, symbolizing local innovation and teamwork with cutting-edge 3D A combination of printing technologies.
