Problem:   Devise a method to digitally capture 3-Dimensional organic shapes for use in animation and / or special effects film applications.

Process:   The process used to fulfill this customer’s needs incorporated the use of laser digitizing measurement technology. In order to obtain all of the 3-Dimensional information, the model was digitized from a number of different orientations which were all later associated together into the same coordinate system.

Solution:   The measured ‘point-cloud data’ was then used to create a polygonal (.STL format) mesh data file. This data can then be used for a wide range of applications including animation and rapid-prototype creation.
