A Byzantine-Venetian mosaic medallion — gold and lapis lazuli on the vault of a grand hotel. Centuries of artisanal knowledge condensed into a work that weighs tonnes, requiring load-bearing structures, scaffolding and specialist craftsmen. Until now.
fd has developed a 3D printing technology that reproduces these surfaces with absolute fidelity — and brings them anywhere, on any geometry, with the simplicity of a wall covering
No size limit
From a single panel to an entire vaulted nave — the process scales without constraints. Maximum width 5,000mm, roll length up to 50m.
Featherlight
The substrate is thin, flexible and extremely light. No load-bearing structure required. Installs on any surface — flat, curved, vaulted.
Simple application
Like a premium wall covering. A team of four covers approximately 80m² per day.
Faithful in every detail
3D reverse printing replicates depth, grain, colour variation and surface relief of the original — indistinguishable at close range from the historic work.
Fire & environment rated
