This stainless steel shopping bag sculpture is 3 meters high. It was custom made for a shopping mall. The body of the sculpture is made of stainless steel. The shape is a shopping bag, but with hollowed-out letters all over it. It has both decorative meaning and design sense.

Step 1: Design

Just like its appearance, this stainless steel bag sculpture is inspired by the shopping bags that people need for their daily shopping. Although the shape is simple but placed in the mall or shopping street will be a good choice. This attracts people to come and stimulates consumption at the same time.

Step 2: 3D foam model

Usually, before starting production, the factory prints a 1:10 resin model to check the shape and details, and if everything is correct, it prints a 1:1 foam model. After that, the factory’s sculptor can begin forging from the foam model.

Step 3: Forging

A large stainless steel sculpture cannot be forged as a whole, so sculptors usually forge parts of the sculpture individually. They use electric push shears and plasma cutters to cut the thick stainless steel, which is forged from the foam model.

Step 4: Welding

Each part is welded together, with the help of ladders and cranes, since the stainless steel ball sculpture is very tall and heavy.

Step 5: polishing

For modern stainless steel sculptures, this step is very important and necessary to turn the sculpture into a work of art. Use a sanding wheel to remove the welds and excess, then polish it with polishing paste to brighten it up.

Any modern stainless steel sculpture will accept your artistic sculpture, so if you have a great design or idea, contact us!
