If you happen to be in the downtown Detroit area on Thursday May8, you might be able to get a glimpse of the Spirit of Detroit statue as it gets 3D scanned. Engineering services house CAM Logic Inc. will scan the Spirit of Detroit Statue in front of the Coleman A. Young Municipal building to create a miniature-size statue using 3D printing.
CAM Logic plans to use a Steinbichler T-Track CS laser scanner to scan the statute and create a digital model. The scanner is composed of two pieces of equipment — the tracker and the scanner.
To scan the Spirit of Detroit, CAM Logic will place the tracker at different locations around the statue. Total estimated time 5 to 6 hours.
