USD 100.00
(Worldwide shipping available. Price including shipping, VAT Included where applicable. Customers will be responsible for customs clearance if needed.) This add-on includes a high-quality 150 mm SLS print of “Head of Michelangelo’s David” scanned at SMK. This astonishing Renaissance sculpture was created between 1501 and 1504. It is a 14.0 ft marble statue depicting the Biblical hero David, represented as a standing male nude. Originally commissioned by the Opera del Duomo for the Cathedral of Florence, it was meant to be one of a series of large statues to be positioned in the niches of the cathedral’s tribunes, way up at about 80mt from the ground. Michelangelo was asked by the consuls of the Board to complete an unfinished project begun in 1464 by Agostino di Duccio and later carried on by Antonio Rossellino in 1475. Both sculptors had in the end rejected an enormous block of marble due to the presence of too many “taroli”, or imperfections, which may have threatened the stability of such a huge statue.
USD 100.00
(Worldwide shipping available. Price including shipping, VAT Included where applicable. Customers will be responsible for customs clearance if needed.) This add-on includes a high-quality 150 mm SLS print of the “Stone Lion” scanned by our team in China. According to legend, at the time of the East Han Dynasty Emperor Hanzhang (AD 75 - 88), the Western Region country Da Yue Zhi sent a golden lion as a tribute to the Chinese Emperor. Later, with the introduction of Buddhism, the lion became a kind of spiritual beast that was given the power from heaven. In Chinese culture, the lion is more of a mythical animal than an animal in real life.
USD 100.00
(Worldwide shipping available. Price including shipping, VAT Included where applicable. Customers will be responsible for customs clearance if needed.) This add-on includes a high-quality 150 mm SLS print of the “Nefertiti’s bust” scanned at the Neues Museum, Berlin. Considered as being The Sun Queen, she sits in her room at the Egyptian Museum, gazing through the rooms of the museum, catching eyes with the statue of the sun-god Helios from Alexandria. The bust was created around 1340 BC by the court sculptor Thutmose, in whose studio in Amarna Nefertiti stood as a sculptor's model. The limestone core was given its final form by several layers of stucco on the crown and shoulders. The individuality of the artist and the personality of the queen unite to bring immediacy to the expression 'beyond space and time'.
USD 100.00
(Worldwide shipping available. Price including shipping, VAT Included where applicable. Customers will be responsible for customs clearance if needed.) This add-on includes a high-quality 150 mm SLS print of “Ganesha” scanned at the “Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum”. Ganesha is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in Hindu and Buddhism. He is easily recognisable by his elephant head, and is the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies.
Scan the World, the open source museum, is an ambitious community-built initiative whose mission is to share 3D printable sculptures and cultural artefacts using democratised 3D scanning technologies.
We are often asked by the community how we keep ourselves sustainable, and so far every step of our journey has been self funded with MyMiniFactory. After consulting community members we thought it right to mix things up a little, which is why we are introducing our new Crowdfunding initiative.
Crowdfunding will enable the community to undertake new, larger projects, as well as giving you a voice to decide what museums or locations and stories we do next! Nothing else will be changing, the models will remain free, we will continue to share stories and models from our partnerships and contributions from the community.
We are excited to share pledges provided by members of the Scan the World rendering community, as well as 3D prints by our friends at Shop3D.

FAQ
Who are we?
We are an ambitious community-built initiative whose mission is to share 3D printable sculpture and cultural artefacts using democratised 3D scanning technologies, producing an extensive ecosystem of free to download digital cultural heritage.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are often asked by the community how we keep ourselves sustainable, and so far every step of our journey has been self funded. After consulting community members we thought it right to mix things up a little, which is why we are introducing our new Crowdfunding initiative. This will not only help Scan The World being sustainable, but also give you the chance to be part of this new adventure.
What is photogrammetry and how can I scan?
Photogrammetry is a process that allows digitizing a real-world image through the use of 2D pictures. Thanks to this technique it is possible to reconstruct a real-life object into a 3D model.
This can be done using a digital camera or a smartphone camera.
