Abstract
The integration of a colour scanner, 3-dimensional CAD/CAM system and Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) provided a powerful means of building art to part. Artwork such as Chinese characters, human faces or flowers can be input by a scanner, converted into 3-D reliefs within a CAD/CAM system and built using the Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA). In this article, the effectiveness of such an integrated system is illustrated with 3 examples.
