3D Model Redesign on a Dime
The X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) project is pretty much complete. The STL files and the larger than life coins look pretty good. Click here to download a brief project description. Click here to purchase high resolution STL files of the coin (Dime) at 1X magnification.

3D Model of a Dime, Update
3D Model of a Dime, Update
Although Zeiss' CT scan data is exceptional, the 3D model is still a work in progress.
Zeiss provided multiple excellent scans of two plastic replicas of a Dime. The average resolution of the scans is .032mm (.0013"). While all the details are clearly visible (even John Sinnock's initials below Roosevelt's bust), the surface is a little noisy as if the Dime was made of fine sandpaper.
Using Rapidform XOR software, I've created a pretty smooth version of the dime, but have lost some details. You can still see the "JS", but not clearly. I've submitted a request for assistance to Rapidform. Hopefully, they'll be able to show me how to do a better job of smoothing the data to create a nicer 3D model of a Dime...
