Direct Dimensions uses new F5 Scanner to Scan World Trade Center Artifact for the Maryland 9/11 Memorial

This spring we had the honor of 3D scanning and modeling the steel beam artifact from the downed WTC in NYC to help create Maryland's 9/11 Memorial. The memorial will be located adjacent to Baltimore's own WTC and will be dedicated on Sept. 11, 2011. Our effort supported the design firm Ziger/Snead and the Maryland State Arts Council.

Recap of our Involvement in SME RAPID and 3D Imaging 2011 Conference this past May
