From the TCT Conference archives, Dr Alex Ball, Head of Imaging and Analysis at the Natural History Museum in London takes us through the 3D scanning of a 25-metre-long blue whale skeleton from the Mammal Hall at sub-millimetre resolution as part of a conservation project. 3D printing was also deployed to produce a simplified model to help determine its final position and replaced damaged or missing parts of the skeleton prior to the exhibition.
TCT 3Sixty will take place at the NEC, Birmingham on 29 June – 01 July 2021.
