Week 2: Digital bodies

My initial idea was to scan my thigh, but the the IPad couldn't recognize it and rather recognized my buttocks so I stuck to it. After that I edited it with Meshmixer and exported it to slicer where I decided to print my my buttocks in interlocks slices to save sheets and have less parts. My next move was so export it to PDF so I would be able to open it on Illustrator.
