One of the amazing applications that this industry experiences every single
day! This is such an exciting place to be.

If a laser digitizer/3D scanner can capture the point cloud of a small
replica, this data can be interpreted with Geomagic Studio to any size (a
small key chain or a 450 foot statue) with the output IGES file.

Does rubbing the tummy of such a big Buddha give one MORE luck?

Craig's request for information made me think that some
of you might be interested a similar project that Delcam is
involved in but on a much larger scale. The Maitreya Buddha
will be three times the height of the Statue of Liberty!

The project is described on Delcam's web site
http://www.delcam.com. (You can go straight to the relevant page
at http://www.delcam.com/info/nd14/pg8.htm)

There are parallels with Craig's project as the starting point is
a small scale statue that is being reverse engineered with the help
of Delcam's CopyCAD, PowerSHAPE, PowerMILL and PowerINSPECT software
packages.
