The document discusses 3D printing and remixing objects from museum collections. It begins with an introduction to the speaker and their work involving digital publishing and education technology at the Art Institute of Chicago. Examples are given of 3D scanned and printed objects from the museum, including a lion sculpture. The process of 3D scanning, preparing models, printing, and sharing files is explained over multiple steps. Resources for 3D modeling software and communities are provided to demystify and encourage experimenting with 3D printing of artworks.

Editor's Notes
- 3D animations on the iPads, we required an exactitude and artistry to the renders to highlight the true richness of the original artworks. Rhys Bevan meticulously modelled and ‘skinned’ the renders using the high-end 3D software, Maya. We often included the gray un-skinned wireframe models in presentations, because the animations were so true it was hard to communicate the fact that they were models. These beautiful 3D animations allow us to show the artworks in motion, such as the construction of the Model Chalice, an object meant to be deconstructed for travel in the 19th century.
- Makerbot & DIY aspects (Do it yourself)Very abstract, hard to understand the real implicationThe Art Institute had a Pop-up event so that I and other staff could experience DIY Extremely successful – what did we see
- APIs, Confederations
- Scanning requires a close consideration of the artwork’s form to make a successful model.
