Here she has employed a process known as rapid prototyping or stereolithography, which is used to make industrial prototypes and protective casings for objects. \r\n\r\nThe process begins with the creation on a computer of a three-dimensional model, which is then ‘sliced up’ by software into very thin layers of sintered nylon, typically five to ten per millimetre. Each of these is then ‘printed’ by laser, exposed in a tank of ultraviolet light to harden and then printed over with the next layer to create a three-dimensional object.\r\n\r\nThis piece echoes the subject matter of Whiteread’s full-size works: the objects reproduced are items of doll’s house furniture stacked up as if for sale outside a second-hand shop.","physicalDescription":"A dolls' house size group of  furniture, including a sofa, armchair, stool, table with three chairs resting on top, bowl, cupboard, wardrobe, two refrigerators. These have been produced by the process of stereolithography in sintered white nylon and resemble a sculptural group carved in white marble. The whole comes with a perspex case for protection.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Whiteread, Rachel","id":"A9323"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"3TRPD - Rapid Prototyping","id":"A16942"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Counter Editions Ltd.","id":"C2919"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"nylon powder, white","id":"x39307"}],"techniques":[{"text":"laser sintering","id":"x39305"},{"text":"stereolithography","id":"x39306"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Stereolithography or rapid prototyping in laser-sintered white nylon","categories":[{"text":"Artists' multiples","id":"THES48991"},{"text":"Children & Childhood","id":"THES48980"},{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"},{"text":"Household objects","id":"THES48939"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006BH5725","2006BH5726"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"SB12","shelf":"SH2","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"sculpture","id":"AAT47090"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"United Kingdom","id":"x29336"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2004","earliest":"2004-01-01","latest":"2004-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Purchased through the Julie and Robert Breckman Print Fund","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"10.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"15.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"11.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"front to back","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"These dimensions vary very slightly from those given by the publishers which are 10 x 16 x 11 cm deep","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Rachel Whiteread: Secondhand, 2004.
