Scanned a Chopin bust with the rotary axis

Post by Denford Admin » Fri 09 Mar , 2007 12:43 pm

Pete has used the EasySCAN 3D Laser scanning attachment to scan in a "valuable" bust of Chopin

Holding it in the rotary axis was the hardest part - he had to make cones full of blue tack to hold it between centres without damaging it.
