A short film showing how Conservation Technologies used 3D laser scanning and modelling to create digital models suitable for the production of large scale public art by computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining. The works are by the artist Stephen Broadbent, and the sculptures were installed in Tudor Square, Sheffield in the summer of 2010.
