My designs have now been scanned by Gary Quinn from the Innovation Center at Teesside University. It was a weirdly quick process to scan once we had the angles right but then piecing all the parts together on the computer was in comparison slow and frustrating. The final scan of one side of the helmet mould was made up of over 85,000 polygons and it still looked a bit rough...
We scanned one side of the mould which was then mirrored to produst two identical sides. We also scanned the plug to create a 3D image which can be manipulated to create new designs and patterns although this has not been finished on the pc yet.
Next step is to contact some people called D-lab who can wrap the 3D construction in "smooth sheets" on a computer and then use this to model a new mould with different size of shape.
