About A9RIG

Paul Siegel, creator of Armature Nine

Armature Nine (A9-RIG) was launched in 2012 in Washington state and to this day are manufactured and assembled there using a combination of injection molding and 3D printing. 

When the project first started, figures were sold as inexpensive $15-$30 armatures meant for sculptors to easily build over top of.  Over time the figures evolved and have became some of the world's most advanced artist manikin.
