<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of any community standards for producing 3-D models for research purposes? What types of software? What types of hardware? Price? How/where do you store them? We are exploring the option of producing research grade
models of our Type specimens to use for loans in conjunction with good, high-quality photographs. Our Science Education department doses produce photogrammetry models for educational use. You can see them on the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life
<a href="https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/">https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/</a> We know that these are not of high enough quality for research, but they are very useful for education and possible identification.

<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts, caveats, advice, or knowledge would be appreciated. You can contact me off list if you would like. Details below. Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
