This stunning scan of a Bronze Age spearhead unearthed at Arreton Down on the Isle of Wight is a breathtaking find.\r\nThe original scan can be viewed at:\r\nhttps://sketchfab.com/models/3788092801584240a8a44d1a1e7136c5\r\n courtesy of http://micropasts.org/\r\nI carefully printed it in edge view with extensive support to bring out the intricate details on both sides of this remarkable model. The finish is a masterful combination of ModernMasters bronze and copper paints, complete with SculptNouveau patina.\r\nMicropasts' innovative crowd sourcing program empowers anyone to contribute to archaeology by assisting with scanning and documentation efforts. This collaborative process is more akin to a precision-driven endeavor than the adventurous exploits often associated with Indiana Jones, yet it offers a unique opportunity to support a worthy cause without the danger of poisonous snakes.\r\nWe discussed this fascinating topic on the 3D Printing Today podcast, available on iTunes, Stitcher radio, or directly from the source at http://threedprintingtoday.libsyn.com/
