Sculptural artists are now beginning to recognize the benefits of technology in their art form.
- Sculptors, like Peter Shelton, have the ability to sculpt small, workable figures and then digitally scan them to create nearly infinitely scaleable works.
- Advanced manufacturing processes have allowed artists like John Dreyfuss to realize precise forms and light reflections never before possible by hand.
- Cutting edge materials allow artists to create new visual interactions while maintaining strict monetary and time budgets.
