ABSTRACT:
A non-contact surface measurement system, method and apparatus provides data to computers so that the topography of the surface of an object can be digitally recreated. 3-D images that define tool paths can be created from the data. Thus, cavities may be formed in selected materials by a tool. The appropriately selected materials safely encapsulate the object, which may be an artifact, art object, or other fragile or valuable item for moving or storage.
