Every piece, start to finish
Metal Sculpt Studio models pieces in 3D to your request and builds them in steel by hand. Based in the Middle East, shipping worldwide. Every request gets a price and a date.
Delivery
Delivery and installation on request; shipping worldwide.
Every piece is quoted on request, for the alloy and finish you choose.

The studio
- Model
- Designed in 3D to your request
- Cut
- Numbered plates
- Weld
- Fitted and run by hand
- Finish
- Blacked, waxed or coated
Plates are laser cut and numbered, then the sculpture is built on the bench: fitted against a register of joint angles, welded, dressed and finished. A commission goes through the same four steps as a piece from the catalogue, and past the same welder.

- Yes, and it is most of what we do. Send a photo, a sketch, a 3D file (STL, OBJ, GLB or STEP) or just a good description: an animal, a pet, a figure, any form. We design it as a 3D model to your request, show it to you in 3D and in AR in your own space, and only cut steel once you have signed it off. Use "Request a custom piece".
- Every piece is quoted on request, because the price follows the size, the alloy and the finish. Pick them on the piece’s page, press Order, add your details and send it by WhatsApp or email: we reply with a price and a date, not a range.
- Every piece has a 3D model you can stand in your room. On a phone, "View in your space" on its page hands it to the viewer built into your phone (Quick Look on iPhone, Scene Viewer on Android). It opens at 1 m on its longest side, at true scale; pinch it bigger or smaller and the percentage your phone shows is that side in metres: 50% is 50 cm, 150% is 1.5 m, 200% is 2 m. Commissions get the same preview before anything is cut. Nothing is uploaded; the camera feed never leaves your device.
- No. The 3D and AR models on this site are display copies, deliberately altered so they cannot be turned into working cutting files: the size and form are right, the geometry is not buildable. Cutting files, plate registers and fit-up guidance stay in the workshop. When you commission a piece, or order one for a project, the drawings you need for sign-off and installation come with the job.
- Every piece is made in four sizes, from 50 cm to 2 m on its longest side: pick one on its page. Another size is possible, within limits. Go much smaller and the plates become too small to fit and weld cleanly; go much bigger and we may move to thicker plate and add internal bracing. Tell us the size you are after and we re-plan the plate set for it, then send you the resized model to stand in your room before we cut.
- With the right finish, yes. Corten weathers to a stable rust that protects the steel beneath; satin black powder coat is the toughest barrier on mild steel; stainless 304 is the choice near salt air, on the coast. Raw mill and waxed finishes are for indoors: outside they will rust, unevenly.
- Every piece is built to order. Custom work and a 3D design at your size add modelling and sign-off first, which moves as fast as we agree on the model; then the build time depends mostly on the plate count. You get a date, not a range, once the model is approved.
- Shipped worldwide from the studio in the Middle East, quoted with the piece; delivery and installation on request. Every sculpture travels blocked and strapped so nothing rests on a plate edge or a thin point like an ear or a horn.

a photo
A pet, a favourite animal, a figure for a garden. A photo, a sketch or a 3D file (STL, OBJ, GLB or STEP) and the size you want are all we need to come back with a price.
- 01We look at the shapeA photo, a sketch or a 3D file is enough. We work out how to build it so it reads as the real thing, what size suits where it will live, and which steel and finish will survive there.
- 02You see the model firstWe design the 3D model to your request and send you a link: spin it, then stand it in your own room in AR at true size. If an ear is too thin or a leg too long, it changes here, before any steel is cut.
- 03You get a numberA price and a date, not a range. Then it is laser cut from steel plate, and every part is numbered, fitted and welded by hand.
