What are the challenges of creating large-span WPC sculptures without supports?

Creating large-span WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) sculptures without supports presents several unique challenges. First, the material's inherent flexibility and weight-bearing capacity must be carefully considered. WPC, while durable, may lack the rigidity needed for unsupported spans, risking sagging or deformation over time.

Second, environmental factors like temperature fluctuations and moisture can affect WPC's structural stability, complicating long-term durability. Third, achieving aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity requires innovative design techniques, such as reinforced internal frameworks or strategic material layering.

Lastly, the cost and feasibility of producing such sculptures without compromising safety or artistic vision can be prohibitive. Addressing these challenges often involves collaboration between engineers and artists to push the boundaries of WPC applications in large-scale art.
