I'm a physics PhD student who works a lot with 3D imaging, and happen to know quite a few people who work in museums, so I've been fascinated by this project since I first heard about it. Great to see you're doing an AMA!
I was wondering about how much of the imaging procedure had to be adapted to this specific project, seeing as you're capturing sensitive and fragile artifacts. Also (kind of a related question), to what degree do you have to approach each object uniquely? Do you have to often account varying material properties (e.g., absorption, relectivity, size, etc.)?
