Chester Cathedral

As you can see in the pictures the model has a very fine level of detail, particularly showing the brickwork of the building and around the windows. This meant in order to get the best results from our scan we had to turn up the resolution of the laser scanner.

In scanning this Cathedral we found difficulties, due to the laser working on line of sight, we came across some blindspots. However thanks to the very powerful reverse engineering package we have – Geomagic Design X, we were able to patch up these blind spots and use information from elsewhere on the model to replicate the Cathedrals design.

After showing the customer our results and consulting his needs we scaled the mesh of his model down to his desired size, and presented him with the file ready for 3D printing as he wished.
