the world's first rights-based 3D technological platform
Welcome to artficial – the world's first rights-based 3D technological platform for the digitization, archival, and reproduction of the sculptural heritage. With our proprietary technology and innovative approach, we bring the beauty and intricacy of sculpture to the digital realm while preserving its essence for future generations.
At artficial, we are dedicated to protecting and preserving the artistic achievements of mankind. We have created the ARTvault, a secure and robust database that serves as a repository for the scans of the world's sculptural masterpieces. This digital fortress safeguards the precious data, ensuring the longevity and accessibility of these invaluable cultural artifacts.

Artficial is a passionate team of technologists and cultural experts. We combine our expertise in art, technology, and preservation to create a unique platform that celebrates the beauty and significance of sculptural art. We are an expression of the legacy of the cultural-crossroads - an organization which brings together art, history and technology - to build a vision of the future.
Artclones lie at the heart of our revolutionary platform. Through the convergence of proprietary high-quality 3D printing technologies and meticulous digital scanning, we recreate sculptures with precision, capturing their details with a 0.1 mm 3D resolution. This process ensures that the essence of the original sculpture is faithfully preserved in every artclone we produce.

As Spotify in the music industry, we developed technologies related to our 3D platform and the officially-licensed 3D printing process which is as follows:
- The sculpture is scanned and the “digital clone” is stored in our ARTvault;
- The digital clone is 3D printed as an artclone;
- The artclone revenues are shared between the platform and the owner of the work (an individual or an institution).

We work closely with cultural institutions to support their efforts in preserving and promoting sculptural art. By digitizing and distributing their collections, we enhance accessibility and enable the global appreciation of their cultural heritage.

We have incorporated the use of a plant-based, weatherproof filament for printing our artclones. This cutting-edge, durable material is sourced from renewable plant-based resources and has a carbon footprint that is remarkably lower, by 75 percent, than traditional plastics, allowing us to further reduce our environmental impact. Our production facilities are established in the heart of the Mediterranean, specifically Sicily. It allows us to contribute positively to the local economy, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between our company and the community.

As pioneers in the field, we recognize the importance of responsible digitization and safe distribution of cultural heritage. Our platform operates on a rights-based approach, working closely with collectors and cultural institutions to ensure proper authorization and compensation for the digitization and distribution of sculptural masterpieces. We prioritize the ethical preservation and respectful representation of cultural artifacts throughout our entire process.
The artclone X is a selected artclone which undergoes a process of customization to create a unique and timeless edition for collectors. Each artclone X exists as a series of 99 works – thus creating an opportunity for high-end collectors to build a collection of world masterpieces reinterpreted for our time.
