3D Scanning/Printing: A Technological Stride in Sculpture

The creation of innovative tools, objects and artifacts that introduce abstract ideas in the real world is a necessary step for evolution process characterize creative capacity civilization. Sculpture based on available technology its strongly related to level technological sophistication each era. This paper analyzes basic sculpture techniques (carving, lost-wax casting 3D scanning/printing), their importance as culture footprint. It also presents evaluates added capacities different methods scanning/printing concerning sculpture. an attempt define term “material poetics”, which connected artifacts. We conclude important sign civilization, although lose part material poetics with additive manufacturing. Subsequently, there are various causes destruction sculptures, leaving hole history art. Finally, this showcases salvaging cultural heritage, it has radically altered way we “backup” objects.
