Abstract. The role of 3D technologies in transforming artistic expressive means of modern sculpture is analyzed. 

The key stages of the development of digital tools in sculptural modeling are highlighted, from initial design to the final realization of the work. 

The specifics of the interaction of traditional techniques with digital practices are revealed, which determines the emergence of new forms of plastic thinking and an experimental approach to materiality.

The emphasis is on expanding the visual and communicative potential of sculpture through the integration of virtual, augmented reality, and additive technologies. 

The problem under study is relevant given the active development of interdisciplinary connections between art and technology, which form new artistic paradigms in the space of public and museum environments. 

The article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the influence of 3D technologies on the evolution of the figurative language of modern sculpture. The sources were scientific publications on the theory of art, the results of artistic practices of modern authors, data from exhibition activities, and examples of digital sculptural production. 

The object of the study is modern sculpture, and the subject is 3D technologies as a tool of artistic expression. 

The research methodology is based on the principles of interdisciplinarity, comparative analysis, interpretation of the visual image, systematization, and generalization.

Keywords: 3D modeling, 3D printing, 3D technologies, sculpture, computer graphics, animation, prosthetics, visuali za tion.
