What is Sculpture?
* Sculpture is a .NET open source Model-Driven Development code generation framework ideal for creating and managing .NET Enterprise Applications.
* With Sculpture you can model your application components, and then transform this model to deployable components with your favorite technology.
* Sculpture comes with a host of ready-made Molds (The word “Molds” comes from Molding) like (DAAB, NHibernate, LINQ, CSLA, WCF, ASMX, Windows forms, WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET, & ASP.NET MVC).
* Sculpture provides starter kit wizard enables choosing among available technologies to start your project with all layers in no time.
* Sculpture doesn't force you to adhere to a specific architecture, it contains a guidance package for building your own Mold or customizes existing ones. If you have a custom architecture, using this guidance package you can build a custom code generator with your favorite technology.
* Sculpture can generate any kind of text output using templates (source code, database scripts, web pages, XML, configuration files, etc.).
* Sculpture takes you to the next level of abstraction by separating the problem from the implementation technology.
* Sculpture takes you to the domain specific programming by adding your specifications to the model environment and the generated code.
