Talk to a real person. No signup required.

PrintAWorld is a New York art and sculpture fabrication studio for artists turning sketches, photos, clay models, scans, or 3D files into finished physical work. Projects may combine 3D modeling, scanning, printing, CNC milling, mold making, assembly, painting, and metal finishing when quoted. Selected work on this page includes sculptures for Austin Lee, Coco Fusco, and William Lamson. Price, timing, and deliverables depend on the approved project.

What should you send for an art-fabrication quote?

Send the concept, sketch, photos, clay-model images, scan data, or available 3D files, plus target dimensions, quantity, intended display or installation, material and finish preferences, delivery ZIP code, budget range, and deadline. Identify handling, structural, site, or installation constraints. The written quote confirms design development, engineering review, fabrication, finishing, packing, delivery, price, minimum, approval stages, and schedule.

What can an art and sculpture fabrication project include?

The production route depends on the artwork, source material, scale, intended display, finish, handling, access, budget, and deadline. PrintAWorld confirms only the methods and deliverables included in the written quote.

  • 3D modeling or scan preparation from approved references
  • 3D printing, CNC milling, mold making, sectioning, and assembly when suitable
  • Surface preparation, painting, engraving, or metal-plated finishing when quoted
  • Packing, appointment-based studio handoff, or nationwide U.S. delivery when approved

How does an art-fabrication project move forward?

The project moves through written scope and approval stages; submitting a concept does not authorize production or guarantee that every requested process, material, scale, finish, budget, or deadline is feasible.

  1. Share the available concept, references, dimensions, constraints, budget range, and deadline.
  2. PrintAWorld reviews fit, missing information, fabrication options, logistics, and risks.
  3. Approve the written scope, deliverables, materials, finish, price, minimum, review stages, and schedule.
  4. Production begins after the required approvals, with progress reviews and final handoff handled as quoted.

Review location-specific fabrication information and examples before requesting a project quote.

What can art and sculpture fabrication include?


PrintAWorld reviews digital and traditional fabrication methods for each artwork. A quoted scope may include 3D modeling, scanning, printing, CNC milling, mold making, assembly, painting, or metal-plated finishing when those methods suit the design and intended display.

How does PrintAWorld choose a fabrication approach?


Projects can begin with sketches, photos, clay-model images, scans, or 3D files. PrintAWorld reviews the intended display, scale, geometry, materials, finish, handling, access, budget, and deadline before recommending a fabrication approach in writing. Museum, conservation, structural, or installation requirements must be identified and expressly included in the approved scope.

F.A.Q


What is sculpture fabrication?

Sculpture fabrication is the process of building large or complex art sculpture beyond what an artist can make in their studio. Art and sculpture fabrication often requires complex feat of engineering that artists usually can not accomplish by themselves.

PrintAWorld has studios at 74-12 88th Street, Glendale, NY 11385 and 616 Berriman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208.

Can I visit your studio?

Studio visits are by confirmed appointment only. Do not bring or ship artwork, models, or materials until the written quote confirms the studio, timing, handling requirements, and handoff instructions.

Do you collaborate with any type of artist?

PrintAWorld reviews projects from artists working in different styles and media. Send the available concept and constraints; feasibility and the supported fabrication scope depend on the individual project.

How much does art fabrication cost?

Art-fabrication price depends on the concept readiness, dimensions, engineering, source files or models, materials, quantity, fabrication methods, assembly, finishing, packing, delivery, and installation requirements. Send a budget range and deadline; the written quote confirms the approved scope, price, minimum, and schedule.
