Main Duties

London-based contemporary artist preparing a solo exhibition is seeking a high-level 3D sculptor to assist with the digital development of sculptural works for 3D printing in castable resin (lost-wax / investment casting workflow).

Due to time constraints, sculptures will be digitally sculpted and prepared as production-ready STL files, rather than hand-modelled in wax.

This is a paid freelance role with the potential for repeat collaboration.

Scope:

  • Translate sketches / painting into a refined digital sculpture
  • Sculpt in Blender (or ZBrush → Blender acceptable)
  • Prepare clean, watertight STL suitable for castable resin printing
  • Ensure correct wall thickness, structural integrity, and casting feasibility
  • Provide iteration rounds based on artistic and foundry feedback

Skills and Experience Required

  • Strong digital sculpting skills (figurative or organic forms)
  • Excellent Blender proficiency
  • Understanding of 3D printing constraints for castable resin
  • Ability to deliver precise, clean STL files
  • Highly responsive, accurate, professional and deadline-driven

Nice to Have

  • Experience with lost-wax / bronze casting workflows
  • Experience preparing files for foundry use
  • Prior collaboration with artists or sculptors
