Bridgewater Studio, a design and fabrication studio in Chicago’s McKinley Park neighborhood specializes in large-scale art installations. “We get to be involved with really cool projects,” said Eric Cup, Bridgewater’s president and CEO.
Eduardo Barajas puts finishing touches on a 3-D printed object at Bridgewater Studio, a design and fabrication studio in Chicago, on June 10, 2022.
In June, Bridgewater was working on materials for the touring immersive King Tut exhibit for National Geographic in Washington, D.C. that will move to Boston afterward.“Much like stagehands, we tend to be very much behind the scenes,” said Patrick Justice, Bridgewater Studio partner and vice president of production. “I always tell people, if you’re out in the world and ask ‘how do you make something like that?’ It’s a company like ours.
“They said: ‘Can you make us a bear that looks ultra real?’” Cup recalls. “I said ‘yes, absolutely, how many would you like? They said one. Great. Then I turned to Patrick and I said ‘how are we going to do this?’“That’s part of the fun,” Cup said. Justice laughs at having to do research on furry websites to make sure the look was accurate. But the piece came together successfully.
“A good analogy would be if you were taking a picture and then moving it down a little bit and every time it takes a picture, it adds a little bit to it,” Cup said. “It’s a light process; the laser is a flash and that flash cures the resin and makes it solid.” “It’s very much like a human being, it’s got bones of metal in there that support the whole thing and allow it to go together because it’s too big to ship as one piece,” Cup said. “They’re all bolted connections ... the seams and joints are sealed so that it doesn’t get filled up with water on the inside.
