“It took me four years to convince myself I needed to spend $4,000 on a 3D printer, but it took me 15 minutes to convince myself to buy a $40K scanner.” Learn how an automotive designer from Melbourne, Australia uses Artec Leo to build cars from scratch.
Researchers in Australia have been studying multiple species of birds in order to measure how their bodies have changed over the past century in response to global warming. They needed a fast, accurate, and convenient way to document the precise dimensions of thousands of beaks of 86 different species of birds held in various museum collections.
It started as a conversation; it ended as a gift. With the help of 3D scanning, three sculptures were installed around Glasgow – a reminder of hope and the future.
