Millennium Angel Scanning and Manufacturing 4 - 1998-9 by Anthony Padgett
The next sponsor was 3d Scanners who laser scanned the head and the rear leg. Laser scanning uses a beam of light to record points in space as it moves fractions of a millimetre around the objects.
A cloud of point data was collected and then surfaces were placed between the data points. The surfaces are made of tiny triangles and the more data captured then the smaller the triangles. The scanning has to capture every single point on the object as if there is the tiniest gap in the computer scan then the manufacturing process will not work. If your object is very detailed then this can take some time and some gaps need to be filled manually.
