A: Scans can be used to create 3D sculptures as gifts for kids and keepsakes for memories. You may also be able to utilize your scan with future technology as well.Q: Is the scanning process safe?
A: Yes, it is a high performance SLR and data capture camerasQ: Can I buy the data and 3D print myself.
A: Yes we sell a data package; however please investigate the cost to print priorQ: Can we have a family or group captured in 3D
A: Yes, but to accurately capture the data each individual will need to be scanned separately
In his excellent 1954 novella The Houses of Iszm, Jack Vance wrote about feeler-planes that enabled the creation of incredibly detailed 3D images in just a minute or two:
He stood rigid as feeler-planes brushed down his body. In a glass dome a three-dimensional simulacrum of himself six inches high took form.

Feeler-planes were used by the Iszic to create tri-type records that were so detailed (high resolution), fingerprints were captured in three-dimensional models of the subject's hands.
