Hey guys - as one of the more professional forums for the kind of work that we do, I thought you might appreciate seeing one of my more recent scanning jobs.
My customer hand carved this in the 80s and he said it took months to do...now with it 3D scanned, it is digitally preserved forever.
Attached are some pics of the original in basswood and the digital data captured during the scanning process. It's truly a stunning carving in person. The aesthetic is fantastic.
Yes, this is a carousel horse. Note how there is no pole going through it! It is free-standing almost on 2 feet, with the 3rd just letting the tip of the foot touch the ground. In the pic I have it strapped so I didn't knock it over.
What you are seeing is real geometry that can be used for CNC machining and 3D printing. It can be imported into Aspire, F360 and others, as well as any 3D slicer program.
Cheers!

FYI - A customer's 3D data is never sold or shared with anyone other than the customer, ever.
