Factory Direct · Since 2011

For more than 15 years we have led China’s art casting craft, handling the entire journey under one roof: 3D scanning, digital sculpting and 3D printing, followed by CNC milling, mold making and casting in bronze, aluminum and stainless steel — including finishing and patina.

Under the guidance of renowned sculptor Professor Wu, our design team collaborates with universities to bring fresh thinking to every commission, and our factory-direct model keeps quality high and lead times clear.

What We Do

Full in-house capability

Every stage of a sculpture — digital, mold, casting and finish — happens in our own factory, so quality and delivery stay under one roof.

3D Scanning

Precise digital capture of any existing sculpture, model or object — the reliable base for reproduction and enlargement.

3D Modeling

Digital sculpting and design development by our in-house artists, refined together with your reference and feedback.

3D Printing

Rapid master patterns and prototypes for review before casting — faster iterations, fewer surprises.

5-Axis CNC Milling

High-precision milling for molds, forms and complex geometry that would be difficult to achieve by hand.

Bronze Casting

Traditional lost-wax and sand casting in high-quality bronze — the classic material for public sculpture.

Aluminum Casting

Lightweight, weather-resistant castings that make large-scale works easier to transport and install.

Stainless Steel Casting

Durable polished and brushed finishes for architectural pieces and reflective contemporary forms.

Metal Fabrication

Welding, forming and structural assembly for monumental works and custom architectural metalwork.

FRP Making

Glass-reinforced plastic sculptures — lightweight, color-finished and ideal for playful garden figures.

How We Work

From reference to installed sculpture

A clear, four-stage route — we keep you informed at every step, with reviews before casting begins.

Design & 3D

We scan your existing piece or sculpt from reference, then print a master pattern for your approval.
