Introduction:
The influence of 3D printing on our lives is enormous, extending even to the sports world. Nexgen3D, in collaboration with Miniature World Modelmakers, recently showcased the potential of 3D printing technology by creating a unique gift – a miniature model of the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, also known as Chepauk Stadium. This special memento was presented to cricketing legend MS Dhoni, during his Last Chennai Match of season 16, symbolizing the love and admiration of countless fans12.
Project Details:
The idea to create a 3D-printed miniature of the Chepauk Stadium was conceptualized and sponsored by architect Sivakumar R. of Miniature World Modelmakers. The meticulous model included every detail of the stadium, from the miniature floodlights to the stands, even dedicating one to the ‘Thala’ himself, MS Dhoni. One of the standout features was the seats, designed in the shades of the military color palette, a tribute to Dhoni’s Lieutenant Colonel rank in the Indian Army2.
Role of Nexgen3D:
Nexgen3D was instrumental in bringing this tribute to life. As a leading provider of 3D printing services, Nexgen3D played a critical role in the creation of the intricate 3D printed model. The project required extensive planning, precision, and a total of 160 hours to complete.
3D printing technology Impact:
The impact of the gift was profound, as evident from Dhoni’s reaction. The cricket legend was quoted saying, “I have never received such a gift like this in my life”1. This project illustrates the power of 3D printing technology in enabling individuals and businesses to create unique, personalized gifts that can evoke strong emotions and create lifelong memories.
