On June 1 and 2, twenty-five digital artists and programmers descended upon the Metropolitan Museum's Art Studio for the Museum's first 3-D scanning and printing Hackathon. The invited guests, along with staff from MakerBot Industries, spent two days photographing Museum objects and converting the images into 3-D models with the help of special software.
