A 3D replica of Michelangelo’s David sculpture is installed at the centre of the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. It took 40 hours of digital scanning of the original 16th-century marble artwork in Florence; the creation of a three-dimensional digital model with a resolution of 146 thousandths of a millimetre, production by one of the world’s largest 3D printers and finishing touches by hand to complete the project.
