Seattle/Tacoma Children’s Museum Exquisite Project

“Exquisite” project just opened at the Tacoma Children’s Museum. The Artist is Marisa Vitiello. The piece is designed to be a collaborative project with anyone able to add their personal touch. All the pieces can be drawn on, and are movable. Once you are happy with what you have created go ahead a take a photo! You can upload it with the hashtag #exquisiteproject.

These pieces were all created using our CNC laser machine. We use a large sheet of plywood to capture as many shapes as possible to quickly cut out the design for a fast delivery.

CNC Laser- Decorative banister

This was an installation we did earlier in the summer. The images are etched with our CNC Laser, and then placed in a custom built frame made from real hardwood. We handled everything from the first step of image selection to installation, and clean up.

Laser Project- Family portrait

Just finished up a great piece of a family portrait etched into MDF board.  The photo worked great for the strengths of our laser with nice dark and light tones to really make a nice contrast. The project is actually quite big at about 36 inches in diameter.

Best bronze services

Here at Art and Industrial we strive to be the best Foundry in Seattle. We primarily work in Bronze, but can work with other metals as well. Further more we can scale a sculpture to a larger or smaller size, repair, or start from concept and work to the finished product. We use both traditional techniques and state of the art digital tools and technology such as CNC Laser, 3D Scanner and powerful software. Our strength comes from our attention to detail allowing for cast sensitive work and quality finishing. Come in and take a tour of our facility.

Laser working

Our brand new laser is the perfect machine to cut materials where precision is essential. We handle sheets of metal and wood for etching and cutting. Projects range from burning images into various materials to cutting them into different shapes, or both. The burned in images on wood have a photo-realistic quality. Perfect for big signs to use in front of a business, or a small plaque with a family photo etched in. The metal applications range as much as the wood. We can etch your favorite knife with lettering or logo, or cut out your next instrument panel/dashboard. The possibilities are endless.

Laser materials

 

Our laser can cut and engrave a variety of materials including wood, plastic, acrylic, plexiglas, metal, and much more. The laser also has the capabilities to engrave and cut in 4 axis. For example we can accurately engrave a glass vessel using a special attachment that spins the bottle while the machine is in operation.
