Rapid Prototyping for Sculptors
- DeskProto, by Delft Spline Systems
- A Human Torso This project
is a DeskProto application in sculpturing art. The Dutch artist Mrs. Eja Siepman van den Berg is famous for the perfectly refined human torso sculptures that she produces in
white marble and other materials. As the completely manual production process of
these sculptures requires much time, effort and hard labour she has been looking
at new technologies to faciliate her work. One of the possibilities
is using CAD/CAM technology to create the final sculpture in stone, and thus to
use an NC machine to perform most of the heavy labour. In this project the
geometry again has been manually sculptured, however in plaster instead of in
stone. The plaster sculpture has been digitized using a 3D laser scanner, and
the resulting data have been used to create a 3D CAD-model
