Welcome to the SculptCAD RAPID ARTISTS Project

SculptCAD, a front runner in blending sculpture and CAD for manufacturing and reverse engineering, is inviting artists to hang a left from the utilitarian use of this technology and do what they do when they do art. "Wouldn't it be interesting to see what these artists would come up with, if they had access to 3D tools." mused Nancy Hairston, Founder of SculptCAD. An idea was born : SculptCAD Rapid Artists Project.

The experience is apt to be transformative, expanding the creative process and arousing a shift in thinking about how art comes to take it's place in the physical realm. A very, very contemporary approach to art. Why "Rapid"? Rapid Prototype Printing, 3D Scanning and Digital Sculpture. New approaches to art making and art output. High speed. On Demand. It allows the impossible to be possible. The SculptCAD Rapid Artists will show the possibilities they discover.

The digital sculptures created for the SculptCAD Rapid Artists Project will be displayed in May 2010 at the SME Rapid Show in Anaheim, CA and in Dallas in the Summer of 2010 and benefit the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (Arts Magnet). Many of the participating artists are alumni of Arts Magnet and all exemplify the innovative spirit to make this show a noteworthy success. We believe this groundbreaking project is consistent with the contemporary vision of the extraordinary Dallas Arts District.
