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.
