What materials can you cast my sculpture in?

We are a full-service foundry specializing in the traditional Lost Wax method for hot-cast bronze, which ensures museum-quality durability and detail. However, we understand every project has different needs! We also offer high-quality bonded marble, durable resin, and fiberglass casting options if you are looking for lighter or more cost-effective reproductions. We will work with you to choose the perfect material that matches your artistic vision and budget.

Can you mold an existing statue without damaging it?

Absolutely. We know how precious your original art is, and preserving its integrity is our top priority. We use non-destructive, high-grade silicone and latex rubber mold-making techniques. These materials capture every microscopic detail—down to the artist's fingerprint—without adhering to or damaging the surface of your original piece, whether it is made of fragile clay, plaster, wood, or antique stone.

How much does bronze casting cost?

Because every sculpture is unique, pricing varies based on the specific dimensions of the piece, the complexity of the mold (how many parts we need to create), and the final casting material you choose. While real bronze is a higher investment due to its longevity and value, resin offers a more affordable alternative. Please contact us for a consultation, and we will provide a transparent, personalized quote for your project.

Do you offer enlargement or reduction services?

Yes, we do! We combine Old World craftsmanship with modern technology to help realize your vision at any scale. Through advanced 3D scanning and digital enlargement, we can take a small artist's maquette (model) and scale it up to a life-size or monumental bronze statue. Conversely, we can also reduce large monuments into smaller sizes for desktop editions or gifts.

Who owns the molds after the project?

We believe in clear communication, so mold ownership is always determined and agreed upon in your contract before we start. For many of our artist clients, we safely store the master molds at our facility for future use. This ensures perfect consistency for your limited editions and makes it easy for you to order additional castings whenever you need them.

Sculpture Reproduction & Statue Replication Services

Statues.com provides professional sculpture reproduction services for museums, artists, institutions, nonprofit organizations, collectors, and businesses seeking to reproduce existing sculptures or create multiple editions of an approved design. We can work from an original sculpture, existing mold, or digital model to reproduce artwork in different sizes, materials, and production quantities from individual pieces and limited editions to larger production runs.

What Is Sculpture Reproduction?

Sculpture reproduction is the process of creating one or more accurate copies of an existing sculpture or approved sculptural design. Depending on the project, reproductions may be created from an original sculpture, an existing mold, or a digital 3D model. The process can also allow the sculpture to be reproduced in different sizes, materials, finishes, and production quantities.

From One Sculpture to Production Quantities

Once a sculpture, model, mold, or approved digital design is ready for production, it may be possible to use that master to create multiple finished pieces. This allows organizations, museums, artists, institutions, and businesses to develop consistent sculpture editions or production quantities from a single approved design.

Depending on the project, reproductions can also be adapted in size, material, finish, and quantity while maintaining the character and key details of the approved sculpture.

Production Programs

Small Production Runs

For limited programs, commemorative pieces, special projects, artist editions, or organizations that need a controlled number of sculptures produced from an approved design or master.

Larger Production Quantities

Once an approved master, mold, model, or production method is established, a sculpture may be reproduced in larger quantities while maintaining consistency throughout the production run.

Museum & Gift Shop Programs

Museums and cultural institutions may develop sculpture reproductions or customized pieces for retail programs, educational initiatives, exhibitions, or institutional use. Explore our Complete Museum Reproductions Guide →

Organizational & Commemorative Editions

Nonprofit organizations, universities, associations, businesses, and historical organizations can develop sculpture editions for recognition, commemorative programs, gifts, fundraising, or mission-related projects. Explore Why People Commission Statues →

From Master to Finished Edition

How Sculpture Production Quantities Work

Every production project begins with an approved source and a clearly defined plan for scale, material, finish, quantity, and final use.

Approve the Master

Begin with an approved sculpture, physical model, existing mold, or digital design that can serve as the reference for production.

Define Size, Material & Finish

Establish the dimensions, material, surface treatment, finish, and other specifications appropriate for the intended application.

Confirm Quantity & Requirements

Define the required production quantity, intended use, customization needs, packaging considerations, and other project requirements.

Produce & Finish the Pieces

The approved production method is used to create and finish the individual sculptures according to the agreed project specifications.

One approved sculpture can become the foundation for an entire production program. Depending on the project, this may include limited editions, museum reproductions, institutional programs, commemorative pieces, or larger production quantities.

Our Signature Material Since 1995

Classical White Bonded Marble

Classical White Bonded Marble is more than a material; it has been part of our sculptural work since Statues.com began on April 19, 1995. Our signature casting formulation combines powdered natural marble with premium resin using our proprietary process, creating a refined white stone appearance while allowing detailed sculpture reproduction and custom production.

Over the years, we have used Classical White Bonded Marble for projects ranging from smaller presentation pieces and portrait sculpture to larger custom works. Depending on the sculpture, placement, climate, and maintenance requirements, the material may be suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its classic white appearance makes it particularly well-suited to sculpture reproductions, museum and institutional projects, commemorative pieces, and custom production quantities.

VERSATILE FOR CUSTOM FINISHES

Standard Bonded Marble

Standard Bonded Marble begins in a clean white tone, offering a smooth foundation that’s ready for primers, hand-detail painting, patinas, or bronze-like finishes. Designed for decorative and commemorative works, it’s especially well-suited for indoor use or controlled environments where visual impact matters.

This material has become the go-to option for those seeking a cost-effective alternative to traditional foundry bronze. While it offers a more accessible path to achieving a bronze aesthetic, it still maintains sculptural integrity and detail, making it a trusted choice for artists, collectors, and institutions alike.

Precision Meets Innovation

3D PRINTED RESIN

Durable 3D Printed Resin is a high-performance material used exclusively for indoor sculpture and precision work. It begins in a neutral tone and must be finished with hand-applied color, patina, or detailing, unless used purely as a prototype or master for molding.

This option may appear modern and streamlined, but don’t let it fool you, it comes with a high material cost due to its specialized quality and detailed output.

We use the highest-standard printing resin, specifically blended to meet the demands of our fine art and custom sculptural output. Ideal for capturing sharp lines and intricate forms, this material offers exceptional accuracy and creative flexibility for detailed, display-ready pieces.

The Gold Standard in Sculpture

EVERDUR® BRONZE
(FOUNDRY CAST)

Everdur® Bronze represents the pinnacle of traditional sculptural casting. A premium silicon bronze alloy composed primarily of copper and silicon, long favored by artists and collectors around the world. Known for its warm, rich tone and exceptional durability, this alloy has become the benchmark for museum-quality sculpture and enduring public art.

There is no doubt: all of our foundry work is proudly cast right here in Utah, using American-made alloys—including Everdur®—and time-honored techniques. Each piece is hand-finished to bring out the depth, detail, and luminosity that only real bronze can offer. As our most premium and costly material, Everdur® Bronze delivers unmatched strength, timeless beauty, and lasting value for works meant to inspire for generations.

Everdur® is a registered trademark of Hussey Copper Ltd. Used here to reference the specific alloy material we cast with, not as a brand of our own.

Questions & Answers

Sculpture Reproduction FAQs

Answers to common questions about reproducing existing sculptures, working from molds, changing scale, selecting materials, and producing multiple pieces.

01 Can you reproduce an existing sculpture?

02 Can you cast sculptures from an existing mold?

Existing molds may be used when they are suitable for the intended casting process and material. Statues.com can review the mold, production requirements, desired finish, and quantity to determine the appropriate next steps for the project.

03 Can you reproduce a sculpture in a different size?

Depending on the project and source material, a sculpture may be evaluated for enlargement or reduction. Scale changes can require consideration of proportion, detail, material, structural needs, production method, and the intended use of the finished sculpture.

04 Can you produce multiple copies of one sculpture?

Yes, when the sculpture and production method are appropriate for multiple-piece production. An approved master, model, mold, or production reference can form the basis for limited runs, commemorative editions, museum programs, organizational projects, or larger production quantities.

05 What materials can be used for sculpture reproduction?

Material selection depends on the sculpture, intended appearance, application, scale, quantity, budget, and production requirements.
