Karin Sander is one of the first artists to apply 3D scanning and printing technology to figurative sculpture making. The artist has adopted the series as technological means have advanced. "Body Scans", Sander’s well-known series of miniature figure portraits, are created by scanning a person. The body scanner reads the entire surface of a person’s body and sends the resulting data to a printer that builds a three-dimensional replica of the person in thinly layered cross-sections of ABS plastic. Airbrushed color is subsequently applied.
