Scans, 3D

Still looking at Shapeways...

If I make a small sculpture, what's the easiest way to scan it to get a digital 3D file of it, ready for 3D printing?

  1. Google "scanning objects for 3d printing" and choose from the 10's of links.

  2. Check out Make magazine online. Look for a Maker Faire near you. Find a shop that has a 3D printer near you, visit them and ask them for advice. Look for a local group of 3D printing enthusiasts that hold regular meetings. They are kind of like Mac user groups were back in the day.

  3. But with greater variety!
    Sounds cool.
