Museum and Architecture 3D Scanning
Nothing lasts forever (except diamonds, of course!). Age-old artifacts and museum displays are some of the items that we can preserve digitally. Using our state-of-the-art technology, non-contact, non-destructive digitization/3d scanning is what we perform on the desired object. Furthermore, this means that no part of our measuring equipment will ever touch the artifact. Basically, it is like taking pictures with a regular camera. This replaces the previous methods such as talking plaster casts of delicate items, which could damage them easily.
Pieces that are greatly damaged and broken into pieces can be scanned and reconstructed digitally. Scanned works can also be scaled up or down to create life-size statues or small miniature reproductions.
Museums can create complete digital archives of their collections, low –resolution copies of which can be sold to customers for their review. Also, the full-resolution models of their archives is used in rebuilding the parts, in case of theft, damage, or wear to the article.

Applications of 3D Scanning
3D scanning provides accurate information on the real-world condition of objects as they are. This information can then be used in a wide variety of applications, for example, to – plan new facilities, create models, determine dimensions, or inspect. Utilizing our new, long-range, Surphaser 3d scanner, we can now scan even larger objects than before. For example, facilities can be digitally mapped out quickly from the floor to the ceiling in a single scan.
Historical buildings and architecture are completely 3d digitized for archival or rebuilding purposes. Also, this data is used to repair complex shapes in ancient architecture that are damaged or destroyed. The 3D digital data is also used in creating a complete inventory of complex manufacturing plants, like oil refineries. Furthermore, archived data is useful in the future for efficient replacement and maintenance of facilities.
Typical Scanning Uses In Cataloging:
- Completely archive 3D digital data of buildings
- Interior and exterior fully measured
- Deformation is easily measurable in storage tanks
- Quickly measure industrial facilities or forensic sites
- Easily maintain and protect historical architecture
Benefits Include:
- Store the digital shape of anything forever
- Make CDs of your artifacts and sell/distribute them
- Replicate the shape of any artifact or antiquity
- Convert the digital data into the picture or animation for shows/presentations
- Prevent downtime in facilities maintenance repair
