This document discusses 3D printing and how museums are using the technology. It covers topics like how 3D printing works, capturing museum collections through 3D scanning, and remixing or adapting museum works. Museums are also using 3D printing to engage visitors and spread collections more widely by publishing 3D models online for others to print.
