Sculpture Enlargement Services
Take your sculpture from a small maquette to virtually any larger scale with sculpture enlargement services from Kalispell Art Foundry. Whether you are creating a life-size figure, a larger-than-life sculpture, or a monumental work, we can accurately enlarge your original sculpture while preserving its proportions, character, and detail.
From Maquette to Monument
Start with your original maquette, clay sculpture, model, or finished artwork, and we can enlarge it to the scale your project requires. Common enlargement sizes include life-size, life-size plus 10%, life-size plus 25%, double life-size, and custom dimensions for monumental projects.
Digital technology allows the size of a sculpture to be adjusted precisely, making it easier to evaluate different scales before committing to the final enlargement.
3D Scanning & Enlargement
Using professional 3D scanning technology, we can capture the form and surface detail of your original sculpture and create an accurate digital model. The sculpture can then be scaled to the desired dimensions and 3D printed at the enlarged size.
This process provides an efficient way to move from a small original sculpture to a full-size or monumental model while maintaining the proportions and artistic character of the original.
Enlarged Armatures & Sculpting Bases
For artists who want to remain involved in the sculpting process, we can scan and enlarge your maquette and create an enlarged sculpting base or armature rather than a completely finished model.
The enlarged form provides the proportions and foundation of the original sculpture while allowing you to apply clay and sculpt the final surface by hand. This gives you the efficiency and accuracy of digital enlargement while preserving the personal touches, textures, details, and artistic decisions that make the finished sculpture your own.
Digital Precision. Artist's Touch.
Our enlargement process can combine 3D scanning, digital sculpting, 3D printing, and traditional clay sculpting in whatever combination works best for your project. We can provide a highly developed enlarged model or simply create the foundation for you to continue sculpting in your own studio.
Once the enlargement is complete, Kalispell Art Foundry can also take the sculpture through the entire bronze casting process—from mold making and wax to ceramic shell, bronze casting, metal finishing, patina, and final assembly.
Your Sculpture. Your Scale.
From a small maquette to life-size, 10% or 25% over life-size, double life-size, or monumental scale, Kalispell Art Foundry can help transform your original sculpture into the size your vision demands.
Bring us your maquette and your desired dimensions, and we'll help you determine the best enlargement process for your project.
