Description

This is a scan of the Bas relief made in stone by Andrea Bregno. The 3D scan has been made at the National Art Gallery museum in Copenhagen. All the pictures (103 in total) have been processed with Memento beta from Autodesk using photogrammetry technology. The 3D scan has been cleaned with Blender 2.73a and Netfabb 5.2.0, and sliced with Slic3r 1.2.6. The model has been prepared in such way to avoid too much overhanging and if printed slowly, should not need material support.
