FABTECH 2015 brought 3D scanning technology to the steps of the Art Institute of Chicago. Exact Metrology used its Surphaser technology to 3D scan museum's 9 ft tall south guardian lion, sculpted by Edward L. Kemeys. During the event, attendees witnessed the scanning technology firsthand and heard from industry leaders about the process and benefits of 3D scanning and printing. With scanning portion complete, Met-L-Flo Inc. will use scan data to print 300 small-scale replicas of the lion.
