Three-Dimensional Replica Creation Process
US Patent:
2001005, Dec 27, 2001
Filed:
Jun 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/879601
Inventors:
Prabhat Jain - New Orleans LA, US
Joel Lema - Kenner LA, US
Joel Lema - Kenner LA, US
International Classification:
G06F019/00
US Classification:
700/098000
Abstract:
The electronic digitizers at the scanning center produce a raw file. The raw file (comprising the three-dimensional information) is further processed and an enhanced output file is produced. The enhanced file is sent to a fulfillment center where the actual conversion into a replica physical object takes place. To allow for faster turnaround times, electronic means are used to send the file to the fulfillment center. The replica is enhanced by additional hand carving or sculpting. The physical replica is further enhanced by mounting the replica on structures that enhance the artistic presentation of the replica. The physical replica can be used as a pattern in casting, investment casting, and casting for mass production. Thus, by coordinating disparate technologies (e.g. electronic three-dimensional digitizers, rapid prototyping machines, casting, investment casting, casting for mass production) and by evolving suitable processes we specifically create a system to produce replica three-dimensional physical objects from captured three-dimensional image data of objects.
Personalized Sculpture As A Cremation Urn
US Patent:

International Classification:
A61G017/00
US Classification:
027/001000
Abstract:
A novel system and method for the containment of cremated remains using a personalized sculpture made in the likeness of a decedent thereby fulfilling the function of a cremation Urn. The system contemplates a unique memorialization of the cremated remains as a three dimensional sculpture in the likeness of the decedent (“Sculpture”), by blending the cremated remains into the Sculpture, during the sculpture creation process, or by providing a vessel, either molded in the Sculpture or attached to the Sculpture, for permanent containment of cremated remains. The preferred embodiment of the present system includes the steps of blending all, or a portion of the cremated remains with casting materials to create a three dimensional sculpture in the likeness of the decedent. Then finishing and adorning the Sculpture to produce a sculpture which is pleasing to view as well as providing a fitting remembrance to the decedent.
