In 2007 , some goons looted a casting of Rodin ’s The Thinker ( one of many castings that exist of the iconic spell ) from the Singer Laren Museum in the Netherlands , intend to deal it as fleck metal . I ’m not sure why you ’d require to sell a multi - million clam work of nontextual matter as scrap metal , but hey , that ’s on them . Though six other works from the museum were destroyed in the looting , The Thinker was recovered , though ill damage . The museum asked the Belgian3D printing company Materialise to facilitate them set up it up .
The society made 3D scans of the damaged Thinker statue as well as the original mold keep at the Musee Rodin in Paris . Then , they printed the statue in aMaterialise Mammoth , one of the big 3-D printing machine in the cosmos . The result ? Perfect three-D printed pieces for all of the Mr. Thinker ’s lacerations . Just like new ! [ i. MaterialiseviaRead Write Web ]
