Face and body scanning

For face and body scanning, I use either an Einstar scanner, or a Revopoint Miraco scanner, which has a point distance of down to .2mm.

Both scanners are eye-safe. They are portable and we can provide on-site scanning services if needed, or scan at my studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

3D scanning for small objects

For jewelry, coins and other small items, I use a Revopoint Mini scanner, which has a point distance of .02mm and an output point distance of .05mm.

Artwork reproduction

Our team are all artists ourselves, and we understand the decisions around scaling artwork up and down, preparing 3D prints for successful bronze casting or CNC milling, or creating editions that capture the spirit of your original artwork. Depending on the scale of your piece we can scan, edit and scale your artwork - either to create a large or monumental sculpture from your original maquette, or to produce a smaller edition from a larger original.

(If you are reproducing an artwork at 1:1 scale we will usually recommend traditional casting, but we’re always happy to discuss if you prefer to use a digital workflow).

3D modeling

If you need a polygon mesh with good topology (eg for rigging and animation), or a NURBS file or .stp file, your scan will need to be reverse-engineered.

I work with a network of trusted CAD designers who can reverse-engineer a scan file in Rhino. We can also use Blender or Rhino to make design changes or create 3D models from your original concept sketches.

Digital sculpting

For very intricate files (eg a scan of a sculpture with organic detail), sometimes it makes more sense to repair the original scan data rather than rebuilding it from scratch. Our team uses ZBrush to smooth, sculpt, and restore detail to 3D scans.

3D print preparation

If you are scanning an object for eventual reproduction using 3D printing, there are some additional design considerations - material strength, wall thickness, surface finish, etc. We will work with you and your vendor (or one of our preferred vendors) to create a 3D print-ready file for production.
