Abstract (300 words maximum)
We printed 3D models of various art pieces around campus to display artistic abilities and creations of our Kennesaw State campus community. The 3D models of art pieces on campus hold intrinsic value of our core ability to re imagine the world around us and contribute ideas to society. On Kennesaw State University campus, we have a culture that inspires students to innovate and involve themselves with the community. Our campus is beautiful because people from different cultures can contribute to art on campus. Kennesaw State University has accumulated artifacts from students and members of the community in the past thirty years. The art pieces on campus are essentially artifacts in the sense it symbolizes vast cultural meanings and design from multiple perspectives. The artifacts on campus represent the values of our culture on campus. Our mission is to spark involvement and innovation by replicating artifacts on campus in 3D models. We used geospatial devices and lidar technology to obtain point cloud data scans of artworks located on Kennesaw campus. We register and process this data in various 3D printing software to translate raw data into gcode to transfer to 3D printers on campus, thereby creating miniaturized artifacts.
