Scan of the Month

A thoughtful tour of a Lego minifig as sliced by a CT scanner. This is kind of the reverse of 3D printing - rather than build something layer by layer, the assembly is scanned and visualized in slices, allowing a peek into the way parts mate. Differences in density can be automatically color coded - in this case the dye of the figurine provides a convenient separation between differently-colored parts.

I never knew that the hands of minifigs were ribbed to create a rotating press fit!

This reminds me of the fun I have reading [name that ware](https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?cat=54) by Bunny Huang. There's a sense of discovery and delight in analyzing the choices made by designers of physical things.

Does anyone know the site library used to pull off this scroll-animation? It works excellently on mobile and I recall it being used heavily on Apple.com to showcase product cut-aways.
