Crouching Woman, Rodin, 3D scan

I'm proud to be part of a thriving community of makers in Portland, Oregon. We call ourselves Layer Geeks and even have a club on meetup.com called the “Portland 3D printing lab.” I love discussing 3D printing and pushing myself to create more with my fellow members. We also enjoy working on fun projects like 3D printing a life-size cow #crowdcow. One of my favorite projects was when the Portland Art Museum asked me to 3D scan the Cantor Foundation's statues made from Auguste Rodin's work. With patience and precision, I guided my iPad equipped with the Structure scanner from Occipital. In real-time on an iPad, I could see the object being recorded into a 3D printable model. I used Autodesk's Meshmixer application to refine and clean up the scan. The Portland Art Museum made this opportunity possible, and I feel fortunate to be able to share these scans with my fellow makers. I encourage you to have fun with the scans, make them for yourself or a friend so you can be part of the maker movement too. Go visit "Auguste Rodin: The Human Experience" if you can – the exhibit is ongoing through April 2017. You're invited to join me on this creative journey as I explore new possibilities with my 3D printer at Portland 3D LLC. Learn more about my work at www.PDXDDD.com.
