I completely agree with jbdwizard1. Wax carving and casting was the
core of my business. I watched it erode over time. In the beginning
I was able to compete against CAD/CAM machines simply because I was
cheaper and the programs were not as sophisticated. Now, they can
make anything much better than a human can make it. And all of the
casting houses will now carve your piece and cast it all in house for
very little money. I really believe that the future of goldsmithing
will be in hand fabricated work. The value of cast and machine carved
pieces will decline, just like every manufactured item. It starts out
expensive and gets cheaper and cheaper. The only reason they will be
worth anything at all is the value of their materials because anyone
can scan the item and reproduce it. It doesn't require a skilled
craftsman.
