What are the differences between resin sculptures cast in situ versus prefabricated?

Resin sculptures can be created using two primary methods: cast in situ or prefabricated. Cast in situ involves pouring resin directly into a mold on-site, allowing for unique textures and integration with the environment. Prefabricated sculptures are made off-site in controlled conditions, ensuring consistency and precision.

Key differences include:

1. Customization: Cast in situ offers greater artistic flexibility, while prefabricated pieces are more standardized.

2. Durability: Prefabricated sculptures often have higher structural integrity due to controlled production.

3. Time & Cost: Cast in situ may take longer and cost more, whereas prefabricated options are quicker and more budget-friendly.

Both methods have merits depending on the project’s needs, whether for public art, decor, or commercial use.
