The New York Metropolitan
Museum of Art
Artists:
Pietro and Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Scope of Work:
The Borghese Gallery in Rome had approached the Metropolitan about obtaining copies of the famous 1527 sculptures to display in their own museum. Scansite traveled to New York to conduct on-site digitizing and then returned to the studio and spent over four months editing the files.
The next step was for the completed files to be milled on a CNC milling machine to produce foam patterns. The foam patterns were then given to the museum's master carver for use in making molds for casting the copies.
