Roland DG supports artist
Roland DG UK is continuing to inspire creativity, with artists further investing in equipment to develop their artwork.
Smoart, which is based in Nuneaton, has recently invested in a Roland DG Modela MDX-50 to increase its productivity, from Roland consultant for 3D machines, Patrick Thorn and Co. The new installment will join the company’s existing Modela MDX-40A 3D milling machine.
The work of Sandra Owens, who founded Smoart in 2007, can also be viewed at the Roland DG UK Creative Centre in Clevedon, Somerset. The artist first started working with Roland equipment whilst she was studying for her MA at Coventry University.
I needed the newer Roland DG Modela mdx-50 primarily to make larger pieces. The automatic tool changer also meant that I did not have to wait around in between stages of jobs”
Owens comments: “I had a very positive experience using the Roland DG MDX40a milling machine whilst at university and it was a natural progression to continue with the technology when I started up my own business. I liked the simplicity of the tool and the very precise finish. Roland DG 3D milling machines are incredibly intuitive and straightforward to use.”
She concludes: “I needed the newer Roland DG Modela mdx-50 primarily to make larger pieces. The automatic tool changer also meant that I did not have to wait around in between stages of jobs—and time is my most precious resource. The additional Roland DG milling machine has also increased my output of work, so I can meet the demands of my ever-increasing customer base.”
