of technology taking over any kind of traditional process, but automated foam carving is really about improving the production process so that the artistic process can be improved. Dwayne Lehman, president of Streamline Automation, has seen firsthand how it gives a boost to artistic processes. “It’s a technology that produces sculpture in the most efficient and accurate way possible, but it doesn’t replace any of the artistry,” he explains. “Our FROG3D® system eliminates the non-artistic parts of the process. These are the parts that take sculptors away from being creative and the parts that can take up a good chunk of a project’s life. As we like to say, it’s about taking the work out of artwork.”
With these kinds of benefits, more and more people in the sculptural industry are using automated foam carving. Sculptors are turning to service providers that can produce their work with pinpoint accuracy and quick turnarounds, while foundries and fabricators from around the world are bringing automated foam carving capabilities in-house to expand their services. Trailblazers like Cooley, Bollinger and Woytuk are leading the charge and proving that technology and art can not only peacefully co-exist, but thrive together.
