Sculpture

Scaling, Enlarging and Reducing.

Many artists prefer to work at a small size and then have their original artwork scanned. The 3-dimensional scanned data can then be scaled to the exact size desired and a new "pattern" created by a variety of output devices, including CNC milling (foam, hard wax, etc.), or RP ("Rapid Prototyping") methods such as Stereolthography.

The time honored method of scaling artwork by "pointing" and panagraph is giving way to 3-Dimensional scanning. Among the advantages of scanning is that the artwork can be reproduced in the exact proportion of the original, unlike the pointing method where the sculpture is inevitably "reinterpreted" by the pointing process.
