My Head is Open Source!

Posted: June 22, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: blog | Tags: , , | 8 Comments »

Last night I visited friends at Makerbot, where artist-in-residence Jonathan Monaghan scanned my head with a high-resolution laser scanner.

The model is available on Thingiverse and can be printed on your friendly neighborhood makerbot or other 3d printer.

There are lots of other awesome models of people and things to play with, including Stephen Colbert’s head.

I look forward to the emergence of plastic clone head armies!

Edit: Please note: thanks for asking, but brains are not included.
