Rob:
I don't remember anything, but I take good notes.
Below is the portion of the exchange that was posted on the RPML. This is
from the Compleat RPML archive on our site which was recently updated.
There are now almost 20,000 pages there available for downloading!
Incidentally, there have been a lot of requests for 3D files lately and I've
made replies off-line to some people. Apparently it's not well known that we
have extensive listings for RP-related software, and also an extensive
directory of file archives. Please let me know if you are aware of other
archives. The SW listing pages start at:

Some time ago I answered a request on this list for a sculpture of Albert
Einstein. I shipped the sculpture off to Chicago? to be scanned and the
file sent to Bern, Switzerland, for machining out of metal. All I asked for
at the time was a copy of the stl file. I recall asking the scanning agency
a second time but never received it.
Problem is, I could use the scan now but would have to do some digging to
determine just who the scanner was out there. Would very much appreciate
any info if anyone out there recalls the exchange.
Thanks,
Rob (Sculptor Guy)

We are looking for 3D scan data or CAD files of a sculpture of Albert
Einstein.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

If you bring the sculpture, or a look-alike, we scan it.

Dr. Romano -
Some time ago I sculpted a relief portrait of Albert "Sunshine." The
finished piece is about 13" in diameter. An interesting cracked version of
the artwork can be seen on my web page of www.alliedartsguild.org. In the
interest of science, I'd be happy to provide a plaster cast of the piece for
scanning. I'd only ask for a copy of the file in stl format.
Yours,
Rob Browne, sculptor
