Public art & sculpture
An idea with a presence.
A sketch on paper. A sculpture that changes a space. Our large-format 3D printing helps artists and public-art commissioning teams find the path between the two.
Sculpture
Translate the gesture, silhouette and texture that make the idea yours.
At a larger scale
Work out the parts, joins and journey to site without losing the whole.
Here for a moment
Exhibition and festival pieces, with their next outing in mind.
What to bring
Concept images, overall size, setting, budget and installation date. Tell us how people will interact with the work.
How we approach it
-
Understand the artistic intent
Share sketches, reference images or a 3D model. We discuss scale, the audience’s interaction with the work and the qualities the finished piece should retain.
-
Develop the fabrication approach
Review geometry, material, print layers, segmentation and connection points. Samples or scaled studies can help resolve form and finish before a full-size commission.
-
Plan the physical delivery
Agree the production scope alongside transport, lifting, assembly, fixing and site coordination. Identify any engineering or specialist installation work the project needs.
A few useful answers
Can I start without a 3D model?
Yes. Start with sketches, references or a written concept. We can discuss the design development needed to create a model suitable for the printing process.
Can a sculpture be larger than a single print?
We can review segmentation and assembly as part of the design. Feasibility depends on the geometry, connections, transport limits and installation requirements.
Can a work stay outdoors permanently?
That needs a project-specific review of material, exposure, fixing, maintenance and required engineering or testing. Include the intended service life and site conditions in the brief.
