| Sculpture
Re-creation
This is Flora and Priapos, 17th
century sculptures by Pietro Bernini and his son Gian Lorenzo Bernini,
created for the main entrance to Cardinal Scipione Borgeheses' Villa Borgese.
The originals are now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York City, but have become so fragile that it is impossible to replicate
them by conventional methods. So the Met had the seven foot sculptures
laser digitized in place.

| Foam
Mock-ups
These full size models of automobiles were milled from 1lb. density EPS foam for Coleman & Associates. The data was acquired from Viewpoint Visualization, Inc. scaled to the clients specifications, then sectioned, cored and machined with a 4" wall thickness in order to stay below a 100 lbs. weight limit. |

| Foundry
pattern
This 45" frog was milled out 6 lb.
Urethane foam for Norris Peterson Wildlife
Art, and will eventually be one of a number
of bronze sculptures at the Detroit zoo. The original clay maquette, measuring
only 5 ¼", was laser digitized. The data was then scaled to the
sculptor's specifications.

Enlargement
This 9' cougar is part of a sculpture enlargement for Kenneth Bunn. First a 20" wax maquette was laser digitized by Scansite . We then scaled their data up to the sculptor's specifications and 5 axis milled the cougar and it's rock base using EPS foam. The sculptor will then take our finished product, spread a thin layer of clay over the foam and work in the final detail prior to sending the piece to the foundry for bronze casting. |

| Architectural
patterns
Working from drawings or data acquired from Scansite by laser scanning original clay sculptures, these pieces for William Kreysler & Assoc. were machined from urethane foam to be used as patterns for molding.

| Tyrannosaurus
Rex foot
This mirror image of the foot of Sue, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, along with one arm and some ribs, were created for the Chicago Field Museum to replace bones that were missing from the original fossil. They were machined from Renshape 350 using data acquired at Scansite by laser scanning the opposite existing fossils.

| Triceratops
humerus
This Triceratops humerus (upper
arm bone) for the Smithsonian Institution was machined from urethane foam
and finished with latex house paint, using data acquired by digitizing
the existing fossil. An additional mirror image humerus was machined in
Renshape to act as a replacement for the original fossil on display,
which was not only deteriorating but from a smaller Triceratops.

| Corporate
Soap Box Derby car
Working from 2D data, we first built this car as a 3D CAD model, then machined it in EPS to be used as forms for fiber glassing. The finished vehicle was raced by Asyst Technologies, Inc. in a local charity event. |
