For the 3D scan I use as a model a small living plant.
I decided to use a plant because it is part of my project, and I thought it would be interesting to scan an organic and delicate object.
I used to do 3D scanning - a Sense 3D Scanner and Sense software that reads the object.
You can find more about this kind of scan at: 3D System
To scan, it is quite simple, just turn the Sense instrument with your hand around the object.
A rotary table can be used to facilitate the capture of the object.
After scanning the plant I tried to scan my face.
The scan captures shape and structure and also captures the object's colors and shadows.
My eyes got a little weird, but 3D did not look too bad.
From the scan of my face I clicked on "solidify" which allowed me to make my bust in 3D.
Then I decided to print on a 3D printer.
