A 3D relief interpretation of the U.S. hundred-dollar bill. The design brings the engraved details into three dimensions.
The dimensions of the model are the exact dimensions of a hundred-dollar bill.
The centerpiece is the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, sculpted to retain the engraved look associated with traditional currency printing. The surrounding borders, lettering, seals, and decorative elements have also been converted into relief, creating a piece that looks almost like a carved plaque or metal engraving rather than a simple reproduction of a banknote.
Every detail has been replicated down to the texture of the original note. Since the names and the signatures of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Treasurer changes often, I've omitted those.
I designed this model to work well as wall art, office décor, workshop decoration, or as a display piece for anyone interested in finance, economics, investing, American history, or currency design. It also makes an interesting print for collectors who enjoy unique relief sculptures and highly detailed models.
The relief format means the model prints without excessive overhangs and can be scaled to suit different applications. Smaller prints work well as desk displays, while larger prints reveal more of the fine detail and make an impressive wall-mounted piece. The design is suitable for both FDM and resin printers.
The model looks great straight off the printer, but it also responds well to post-processing. Metallic paints, bronze finishes, weathering effects, and wood-tone finishes can completely change the character of the piece. Depending on the finish, it can resemble a carved wooden plaque, a cast metal panel, or a commemorative engraving.
