This is a large collaboration between The Smithsonian, Autodesk, and 3D Systems. The goal of this collaboration was to create a 3D printed high resolution bust of the President of the United States. To accomplish this the group 3D scanned the President’s head using Photogrammetry and depth sensors. The 3D scans were combined in software, and cleaned up. Finally the bust was printed using a Selective Laser Sintering printer.
