(Exact Metrology: Cincinnati) -- Cincinnati native, Tom Tsuchiya, is a well-known artist whose previous work includes bronze statues of former Cincinnati Reds players near the entrance of the Great American Ball Park and the inductees of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Now, Tsuchiya’s artistic skills are on display in Florence, Kentucky. The Florence Community Plaza features life-size statues of a firefighter, a public service worker, and a police officer.

Although Tsuchiya has used 3D software, digital scanning, 3D printing, and CNC (computer numerical control) to help create sculptures in the past, the Florence project was the first time digital scans of actual people were used to create a sculpture.

He asked Matthew Martin, the division manager of Exact Metrology, and Scott Menne to digitally scan actual employees from the City of Florence, Kentucky.

A friend of the City of Florence posed as the public service worker.
