A team at the Smithsonian Institution has scanned President Barack Obama to create the first 3D printed portrait of a sitting president.
According to The Associated Press, experts scanned Obama earlier this year using two different processes: a "light stage" face scanner and hand-held 3D scanners and cameras to help build a bust of the 44th president. It took 40 hours to print.
"You can see down to the wrinkles in the skin and the pores on his face," Vince Rossi, a 3D imaging specialist, told the AP.
The bust is set to become part of the National Portrait Gallery collection.
