Musical Theatre Decor by 3DBGPrint

The possibility to multiply the virtually infinite number of identical parts it one of the main prospects in 3D printing. In this case, scenic designer Ivan Savov decided that the most efficient way of producing over 200 stage aspect would be to print them.

He then decided to contact the local professional in this area Georgi Tolev. Georgi is a CEO and a 3D Specialist in Bulgarian company for 3D services, 3DBGPrint. With the three different degrees from Universities in Sofia Georgi also participated in the implementation of the surgery with embedding 3D printed ribs into the human body.

Ivan Savov came up with the idea of creating repetitive contemporary stage decor that would be used for a long time. “That’s how he found us, and we both agreed that 3D printing would be quite an appropriate technique,” says Georgi. Together they created something extraordinary, modern, and creative.

“3D printing provides unlimited possibilities of creating panels, decorations, and forms. You can freely change the original item, easily set up colors, and make new items quicker at a lower price,” Georgi explains. This type of decor was used for the first time in the theater production in Bulgaria. To print over 200 pieces of decoration on time, over ten identical printers had to be used to their full capacity from the beginning of August to the end of September 2019. The best results according to Georgi were achieved with a 0.4 mm nozzle, 0,25 mm layer height, and 20% infill.

PLA Extrafill was a clear choice as it’s easy to print. “For perfect results, you need the right filament! Fillamentum is our long term partner. With Fillamentums’ PLA Extrafill Gold Happens, we entirely fulfilled clients’ expectations,” Georgi told us.

Classical Operetta The Bat had the opportunity for this innovation at a perfect time. It was after 100 years that it has appeared on the stage of the Music Theatre in Sofia for the first time since 1919. The Bat is a classical dance operetta that centers around love, passion, and family problems. There are also beautiful melodies such as the waltz, regiment, and quadrille. With the plot about quite dramatic themes like love and jealousy, that challenge the marriage. The melodramatic and comedic style, combined with the beautiful music by Strauss, makes the mood of the play light and almost celebratory.
