In episode 388 of Mac Break Weekly (http://twit.tv/show/macbreak-weekly/388) Andy Ihnatko discusses using 123d Catch to produce 3D models for printing. Freshman Aaron Dixon under the direction of Robert and Steve Ellison took this process and brought it to life with the campus mascot. Below you can see some of the series of photos he took around the panther.
The photos were then run through 123d Catch and uploaded to their platform which analyzes the images to produce a 3d model.
The 3d Model can then be downloaded in a format compatible with the Makerbot Replicator 2x. Below is the model opened in the Makerware application.
And the resulting 3d print
This technique could be used to create quick 3d models of almost any object.
