Nefertiti bust

Hello Scott,
want to share with you and the Form1 community the latest project I’ve done about Nefertiti statue.
A friend of mine bought, time ago, one of the limited series’ piece that came directly from the high resolution 3D scanning and 3D printing performet by the replica Workshop of the National Museums of Berlin (2011). The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation has planned a limited special edition of 100 replicas of the Bust of Nefertiti: some of them were painted, other were casted in white gypsum. One of those I got in my hands to scan with David Structured Light Scanner.

The copy was scanned into 25 single scans, aligned and fused, all into the scanning software.

The file was edited and printed at 20 cm heigh and a cuttted area of the face at 1:1 scale. The scaled version was printed into 3 pieces, the face into 4. All glued with same resin. surface sanded and no finishing, just sanding and IPA cleaning.

Hope you like.
Best regards,
Mattia
