Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2441349A] A method for the preparation of a 3D object (for example a sculpture) comprises the steps of, scanning at least a portion of the object to prepare an image data set 102, 104; modifying the image data set; and preparing a completed sculpture using the modified image data set 112, 118. The method preferably comprises the steps of, assessing an object to be sculpted 100 and identifying portions of the object with a level of detail greater than a predetermined threshold; scanning the object with the exception of the portions identified to have detail above the predetermined threshold to provide an image data set; modifying the image data set 112 to include data for the omitted portions, to provide a complete image data set for the object; and preparing a completed sculpture using the modified data set. In an alternative method, the sculpture is prepared by the steps of scanning a portion of an object to provide an image data set; preparing a partial sculpture of the scanned portion of the object using the image data set using a first technique; and preparing a full sculpted object using a second technique.
