WWII Veteran’s Experience Commemorated Using a 3D Printed Figurine

Bernard Means, Ph.D. from the Virginia Commonwealth University's Virtual Curation Lab was doing a presentation on 3D scanning at the Virginia War Memorial when he encountered Russell Scott and a model of a B-25 plane he donated to the museum to commemorate his own harrowing escape from such a plane in Italy, during WW II. Means scanned Scott at this event and 3D printed a 6-inch figurine of the veteran that was then placed on the tail of the plane. The exhibit it testimony to the creative ways 3D scanning/ printing can be used to memorialize veterans' experience, rendering a kind of accuracy that does a great service to the memories of wartime experiences.
