The integration of 3D technology into sculpture courses presented both opportunities and challenges for students and educators alike. This research investigated the current landscape, challenges, strategies, and recommendations associated with incorporating 3D technology in sculptural courses. Through a comprehensive review and analysis, key challenges emerged, including the complexity of technology, inadequate educational resources, varying levels of instructor expertise, and practical issues such as equipment maintenance and material properties. These challenges highlighted the need for targeted interventions to enhance educational effectiveness and accessibility. Strategies proposed included curriculum enhancements to integrate 3D technology, professional development programs for educators, improvements in technology interfaces, and collaborations between industry and academia. These strategies aimed to address identified challenges and optimize learning experiences in sculpture courses. Recommendations emphasized the development of centralized educational platforms, increased funding for 3D research, advocacy for regulatory standards, and the establishment of peer learning networks. These initiatives sought to foster a supportive environment conducive to innovation and creativity in sculptural arts education. By addressing these technological complexities, enhancing educational resources, improving instructor proficiency, and overcoming practical barriers, this study advocated for a comprehensive approach to integrating 3D technology effectively into sculpture courses, ultimately empowering students and educators to use their full potential in artistic expression and professional practice.
