The Frauenkirche in Dresden (Germany) is a landmark of the city. Built in the 18th century and destroyed during the Second World War, it was faithfully rebuilt almost 60 years later. This memorial against war became a symbol of peace and reconciliation.
A miniature model of the building carries this message out into the world and at the same time illustrates the high precision of micro laser sintering.

The exterior shape of Dresden's Frauenkirche largely corresponds to a process-adapted design for additive manufacturing. Minor adjustments were only made to the window frames of the dome - the original shapes were replaced by window arches.

Despite a model height of just 16.6 mm and a scale of 1:6100, the miniaturized church is exceptionally detailed. The use of metal gives the filigree model unexpected stability. The gloss level of the surface has been increased by post-treatment.

The Micro Laser Sintering systems from 3D MicroPrint GmbH enable the economical production of single pieces and individualized series models with impressive micro-detailing.
The component shown was produced on a DMP50 GP Micro Laser Sintering system developed by 3D MicroPrint GmbH.
