Of all the sculptures in the world that could be machine-scanned and printed, Auguste Rodin's The Walking Man may be the most appropriate for printing as-is from a rough automated scan - unaltered, without "fixing" any of the incorrectly mapped lumps or errant wisps of data streaming off its surface.
