Abstract

Artificial metals are composites obtained from the mixture of thermoset resins with metallic fillers. They are used in pursuit of 3D prototypes, as well as in the making of sculptures and decorative objects, in areas such as industrial creation, fine arts, and conservation and restoration of cultural heritage. Although they are widespread materials known since the 1960’s they have not been well studied for these applications, especially those concerning to artistic cold–cast reproductions. Thus, there are no systematic studies about the type of fillers, particle mesh size and dosage to fit the various procedures of sculptural work. This article proposes a review of the forementioned parameters, using epoxy and polyester resins, and focusing in the proper proportions for obtaining composites witch a metallic appearance.
