Roman Emperor Trajan Statue 3D Scan

thingiverse

Here is a 3D scan of the Roman Emperor Trajan statue, housed at the New Carlsberg Glyptotek museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. You can access this online model via the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan. The source file was obtained from the website http://www.123dapp.com/catch/Copenhagen-Glyptotek-statue-the-emperor-Trajan/3489610. The reworked 3D scan, designed for 3D printing, involved deleting extraneous objects surrounding the statue and modeling with various digital brushes to refine its shape. To ensure stability and balance in the model, a flat base was created through plane cutting techniques. Additionally, the 3D geometry was remeshed to further improve accuracy before being scaled up for physical reproduction. All these modifications were made using software applications MeshMixer and VisCAM, demonstrating effective use of computer-aided design tools.
