Production metal art: Imagined in the mind, manufactured by CAM

CAD, CAM and geometric formulae would sound like alien subjects for creative artists who create sketches and content out of their wild imagination. Not anymore, as technology advances, it appears to be embraced pretty well by the non-probables.
In a recent Bricsys blog, I was pleased to read about how two artists Joshua Abarbanel and Martin Tomsky use laser cut machines to give physical form to their imaginations.
The narrative is not new and happening already, although in small pockets. We have a bunch of BricsCAD users in India who are hard-core manufacturing guys but the stuff they create the intricate engraving, metal embellishments, creative door handles and the like. Software and machines takes out the drudgery of giving life to the creative form that they imagined.
CAM is like a finishing tool for the art work conceived by the artist. CAD helps to place their designs on the canvas and verify that it fits in place. Multi-colored, with subtle or dominant hues, and a relief map in the imagery is captured very well by today's technology and rendered on the manufacturing canvas that is machine driven.
In the shifting sands of technological innovations, today's artists create content in their mind and transfer the same to digital platforms. The rendering and reproduction of the same is ably handled by technology.
