Torart is a sculpture workshop where commissioned works are created for artists, architects, museums, and private individuals using ROBOTOR’s anthropomorphic robots.
Jeff Koons, Barry x Ball, Francesco Vezzoli, Vanessa Beecroft, Giuseppe Penone, Zaha Hadid, Maurizio Cattelan and many others have turned to and continue to turn to TorArt. Together with them, important museums and major companies have also used TorArt for the reproduction of works of art from the past that have had an impact on the media around the world.
The workshop is capable of executing creations from series to unique pieces, from art to author or industrial design. The creative manufacturing includes both subtractive and additive production. TorarT is able to realize projects starting from sketches or models provided directly by clients and can execute the creation from editions to unique pieces, from art to industrial design.
Activities
SUBTRACTIVE MANUFACTURING
Phases of artwork creation: the process of creating the artwork develops according to five main phases:
3D Design
It starts from the 3D file provided directly by the client, from a photograph of the artwork that is reconstructed in 3D. Support is given to the client both in the phase of transposing the project from 2D to 3D and in the 3D scanning activity to bring the physical object into digital form. The 3D scanning system is the simplest and most flexible solution for making a copy of an object and allows for reverse engineering and data processing. In this case, TORART can create the model of the artwork according to the client's instructions.
Material Selection
Identification of the best "block" for the creation of the artwork.
Work Programming
Based on the 3D scanning process, a matrix is defined and processed by the OROS software created by ROBOTOR, which automatically programs the processing and transmits the data to the system.
Roughing Phase
The ROBOTOR robot works the material using appropriate tools, defining contour lines with a specified depth.
Manual Finishing Phase
Subsequently, if required, the final realization is manual, that is, left to the finishing by specialized artisans.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Additive manufacturing is used to create objects by generating and adding successive layers of material. Currently, TORART uses additive manufacturing to create models and artifacts in composite materials.
