Crouching Woman, Rodin, 3D scan

I am proud to be part of a thriving community of creators here in Portland, Oregon. We call ourselves Layer Geeks and even have a club on meetup.com called the “Portland 3D printing lab.” We enjoy discussing 3D printing and challenging each other to create innovative projects. We also love working on fun projects like 3D printing a life-size cow. This project stands out as one of my favorites to date, as the Portland Art Museum asked me to 3D scan the Cantor Foundation's statues made from the work of Auguste Rodin. With patience and precision, I guide my iPad equipped with the Structure scanner from Occipital. In real-time on an iPad, I am able to see the object being recorded into a 3D printable object. I used Autodesk's Meshmixer application to size and clean up the scan. The Portland Art Museum made this opportunity possible, and I feel grateful to be sharing these scans with my fellow makers. Check out “Auguste Rodin: The Human Experience” if you can – the exhibit is ongoing through April 2017. I invite you to have fun with the scans, create them for yourself or a friend, and become a part of the maker movement.
