Jeremy Barker is a man who is very dedicated to what he does. He loves education and history, and wants to bring the two together via a more tangible solution. He wants to scan artifacts from all of Georgia's museums and then put these 3D printable scans into a giant repository that can be accessed by anyone. This will allow for schools and other museums to print them out and let people hold replicas of the original objects. This is just one more case were there is an extraordinary interest in digitizing the world's ancient artifacts. Perhaps one day, virtually any artifact will be 3D printable via a free repository.
