You can use two different softwares to 3D scan an object or body :

  * Recap : lots of pictures taken following a circle, action repeated from different angles of view ( = Photogrametry)
  * Kinect (from Autodesk) : using the software Skanect.

Place the body you want inside the 3D square and start to scan all around it.

We used __Kinect__, and scanned one of the student's body (Brigitte) thanks to the turning table :

Then we saved the body scan in obj and opened it on Meshmaker.

__Meshmaker__  :

Select Discard > Lasso > Contour the parts you want to delete.

Edit > Make solid.

Sculpt >Brushes > Flaten à to smoothen the shape.

After that you have a solid and a mesh (the mesh is created automatically by the scan), so keep the mesh and import it on Slicer.

__Slicers : __

Manufacturing Settings > New material > Enter the measurements.

We use the « Hollow » command to make a hole in the middle of every slices so we could assemble them together by putting them on a stick

Note : If it doesn't work you can also use Rhino to do it :

Mesh to NURBS > Select the mesh you want to turn into a solid again (so you can modify it).

Create a cylindre > Boolean Tool > Difference.
