Service Detail

A Digital Sculpting Bureau for Shops That Already Mill.

AI-refined, machine-ready file generation for fabricators who own 3-axis or 5-axis equipment but lack the 3D artists to feed it complex sculptural work.

We translate 2D sketches, photogrammetry sets, or damaged physical artifacts into pristine digital models and verified toolpaths. Our proprietary process reconstructs the detail that basic AI tools smooth away, and every export is tuned to your specific post-processor rather than dumped as a generic mesh.

The Stakes

A Router Is Only as Good as the File You Feed It.

Most shops that bought a 5-axis router discovered the same thing: the machine was never the constraint. Complex sculptural commissions stall in modeling, not milling. Generic scan-to-mesh tools return blobs where the acanthus leaf used to be, and hobby-grade software emits toolpaths that gouge on the first plunge.

Our bureau exists to close that gap. High-resolution photogrammetry, manual digital sculpting by our engineering team, and simulated verification return a file your operators can load with confidence.

Scope

Exactly What Is Delivered.

Included

  • Full digital reconstruction from 2D sketches or raw scans.
  • Proprietary AI-driven repair of weathered features.
  • Delivery of verified, machine-ready STL or G-code files.
  • One round of digital revisions prior to final export.
  • Direct consultation with our engineering team.

Excluded

  • Physical stone milling and raw material sourcing.
  • On-site operator training at your facility.
  • Licensing of third-party CAM software to your shop.

Process

Scan to Verified Toolpath.

  1. Step 1

    Source Capture

    What happens
    We receive your sketch, scan set, or the physical artifact for photogrammetry.
    Customer does
    Uploads source material and machine specifications.
    What they get
    A feasibility report and fixed-price quote.
    Duration
    24 hours.
  2. Step 2

    Reconstruction

    What happens
    Engineers rebuild missing detail and resolve mesh errors by hand.
    Customer does
    Reviews the rendering and requests one revision round.
    What they get
    A pristine, watertight 3D model.
    Duration
    48 hours on Rush Lane.
  3. Step 3

    Post-Processor Tuning

    What happens
    Toolpaths are generated and simulated against your controller and tooling limits.
    Customer does
    Loads the file and runs the job in-house.
    What they get
    Verified STL or G-code plus remote support at the controller.
    Duration
    1 to 2 days.

We absorb the $512 average setup cost on complex digital scans so you can bid on sculptural work without financial risk.

CarveWorks took a scanned file of a weathered architectural corbel and returned a flawless, machine-ready 3D path. They eliminated a $6,000 penalty we were facing for project delays.
