3.1.7. Manufacturing and Finishing

Once the geometric modifications and the adjudication of the digital manufacturing machines have been made, it is necessary to make modifications in the printed elements in order to generate a uniform HDM in terms of texture and color. Figure 11a shows an example of joining pieces that had been printed in several parts, and in Figure 11b the process of painting to match the color.

**Figure 11.** (**a**) Process of joining two elements. (**b**) Process of matching color.

Finally, for its exhibition, a methacrylate urn is designed and manufactured, as well as a package to allow displacements without damaging the scale model. In this case, both elements have been made with cutting machines. In the case of the urn with laser cutting and in the packaging with CNC milling. Figure 12 shows the SO/PHI, from its digital model to its final manufacture stage as a HDM.
