3d printing, computer design, ability to make molds etc easily
What will that do to the arts?
I just moved a bunch of decorative stuff for a ceremony. The only stuff that looked hand made was the very old wrought iron stuff. Which was awesome.

If you want to produce mass quantities of resin sculptures the you use 3D printing to produce a mold or CNC machining.
Traditional sculpture, though, is not resin casting or CNC machining. It has always depended on patronage of some kind to exist, as the average person cannot commission a piece for their home. Cut stone, bronze casting, metals sculptures are all hands-on methods that cannot be replicated by 3D printing or CNC machining, those pieces that are small enough to be replicated this way and lend themselves to it have been done for a number of years in China as cheap knock-offs.
Traditional sculpture is no more dead than it has ever been.
