Creating Editions
With new technology, a model can be laser read, a computer program
is then made to guide the diamond tipped carving heads to cut the
stone exactly as the model. The finishing of the work must be executed
by hand as the cutting heads leave a slightly ridged surface that
must be hand finished. The program can be readjusted to change the
scale of the stone work to a larger or smaller format. In order to
offset the cost of the program, the edition should have a minimum
of three.
To date we have successfully produced editions but for base relief.
The cost of 3-D laser readings for sculptures in the round is very
high and therefore still cost prohibitive. |
