Large-Scale Robotic Milling for Contemporary Sculpture

Background and Collaborative Effort
Shared by BEK Milling | Art & Technology, this project highlights the intricate creation of a 9-foot-tall sculpture for a renowned artist collaboration in Miami. The process serves modern art installations, with a focus on applications in sculpture and the arts sector.

Inspection and Quality Assurance
Internal weld inspections, as depicted in the borescope imagery, ensure the reliability of structural elements before fabrication continues. Visual inspection of primed steel cylinders reflects the attention to build quality required in the art and film industries.

Robotic Milling and Mold Fabrication
As seen in the workshop images,  ENCY Robot guides a six-axis robotic arm through CNC milling of large foam blanks. The system shapes detailed human face reliefs and produces robust fiberglass molds, supported by manual polishing and alignment steps for high-fidelity surface finish.

End Result
These integrated digital-manufacturing tools facilitate the precise realization of complex forms for contemporary art, enabling the production of public sculptures and customized molds suited for creative and entertainment projects.
