Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site to Digitize Collection for 3D Printing

Museums are wonderful cultural institutions and learning opportunities, but they're limited in their reach, only available to locals or those able to visit. 3D scanning and printing are changing that, however, by allowing museum collections to be digitized and made available for free online. In the case of the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, the entire collection will be available for 3D printing, so that virtual visitors will have the opportunity to download and print pieces of history. 3DPrint.com was given the opportunity to speak to Charles Hyde, President and CEO of the site, about the initiative.
