ABSTRACT
3D scanning and 3d printing offer bridges between the digital and physical world that not only enable artists to convert their work from one format to another, but when combined provide a seamless loop between the two ways of working. With the intention to both develop design variations and refine volumes, forms can be created as digital models, 3d printed, physically modified, and translated back to digital form through scanning. Whether the works are initiated as physical objects or as digital models, this "round-trip" mode of development introduces experimental hybrid strategies and provides new ways of thinking. In particular, this process is adapted for iterative design of sculptural forms.
Using a series of sculptural studies that employ 3D printing, 3D scanning, digital modeling, clay sculpting, and CNC routing, this paper explores a framework for "round trip" development of 3D dimensional forms to arrive at physical objects, digital models, and renders.

Creating virtual environments with 3D printing and photogrammetry
SA '16: SIGGRAPH ASIA 2016 Creating Virtual EnvironmentsDigitizing the physical world through photogrammetry and 3d scanning has nowadays become part of our common vernacular in the creation of 3D virtual environments. However, it is near equally common for these technologies to be employed at the expense of ...
Application of Digital Technology in Future Sculpture Teaching
Cross-Cultural Design. Applications in Learning, Arts, Cultural Heritage, Creative Industries, and Virtual RealityAbstractThe model of traditional sculpture is affected by digital technology, and the form and process of sculpture teaching are changing, which puts forward new requirements for sculpture practitioners.
