We’ve posted some examples of milling stone tables and figures, like Ironman figure. Also, you could see the duplicates of famous statues done by the robot. But do you know, how do they made? How a statue become a 3D model?

On this video, our reseller MecDATA shows the process of creating a 3D model from the object.
