3D Scan Archaeology & Museum / Cultural Property

3D scans of artifacts and cultural assets of all kinds:

– for in-house documentation and comparative research
– for multimedia or interactive applications
– for the production of replicas for exhibition purposes
– to safeguard cultural assets

We come to you! Directly on site. Throughout Germany and the EU.

We are specialists in non-contact 3D scanning

– Would you like to have the scans done by 3D specialists for a specific project?

Our specialists are used to dealing with unique and valuable cultural assets. We are not afraid to scan particularly difficult and complex cultural objects in 3D. Ask us for corresponding reputations!

Don’t worry about the necessary technology, the lack of experienced staff or your tight time frame!

We take care of it for you – reliably and according to your wishes.

– Our 3D service reliably digitizes your artefacts and cultural assets

– Your specifications and wishes as well as our own quality standards are the benchmark for our service

– You receive 3D data in the desired format and resolution

– Are you planning to show the results online, produce replicas, want to use the 3D data obtained for scientific research?

– We advise you and work with you to find the right solution

3D Scan Museum 4.0

You can also display your collection items digitally, in presentations, on your website or in interactive applications in your museum. If required, it is possible to produce a 3D print from the 3D file to create a replica of your object, which will also look amazingly similar to the original in terms of color.

3D scanning is now common practice in scientific research, cultural heritage preservation, online museums and much more. Through 3D scanning in science and education, 3D technology has made it possible to interact with objects by creating a precise digital copy that allows for more versatile work than ever before. Online museums created with 3D scanning technology preserve cultural assets for future generations and transcend geographical boundaries to make culture more accessible to all. In research, a 3D scan is a fast, accurate method of comparing shapes and 3D measurements, allowing multiple scientists in different parts of the world to work on a project at the same time. 3D scans can reveal things about artifacts that would be difficult to see with conventional methods.

In this context, please also read our article about the Römerhalle Museum in Bad Kreuznach.

If you are unable to borrow the desired exhibit for an exhibition, we can make a copy for you in this way, provided the owner agrees. Our scans are very high resolution.

We record almost everything in the field of cultural assets in 3D. No matter whether it is a small artifact (even in very large numbers), a monument, a picture including a picture frame, a wall, etc.

Examples:

Museum 3D Online

As soon as 3D data of artifacts and works of art are available, it is possible to show them worldwide via an Internet platform. There are many reasons for this. In most cases, art should be made accessible to everyone or individual art objects in an exhibition are shown in 3D for marketing reasons. But there are also reasons to make 3D data accessible for research purposes. For example, research can be carried out on one and the same art object worldwide with any number of people at the same time. In order to make 3D data visible via the Internet, certain storage techniques or hosting via specialist providers are required. 3D files must also be illuminated and staged using special software to achieve optimum results. We can advise you on all these topics and also take on this work as a service provider.

Worlds of experience for museums and art

Once art objects have been captured in 3D, they can also be used for online worlds of experience. In this way, the art objects can be integrated into suitable 3D rooms. It is also possible to beam the art objects into your own rooms. With AR. This allows art to be viewed in a very contemporary and intensive way, especially by younger people. Art collectors can view the art in advance in their own rooms using AR and let it take effect. This makes the decision to purchase art much easier, without any effort or costs for anyone involved. And worldwide! Artists can also sell their art in countries that were previously not easily accessible to them. Augmented reality makes it possible.

Resolution of the 3D scans

Especially with historical objects and in archaeology, it is important to capture not only the 3D shape in a 3D scan, but also the texture in a particularly high resolution. We have developed a process to drastically increase the recording of the texture during a 3D scan. The resolution of the texture of our 3D scans in the museum sector is comparable to a very high-resolution photograph.

Here is an example with a monument. Click on AR. With a modern cell phone, the monument will be right at your home. Let us advise you. We realize projects of this kind from A to Z.

Virtual 3D exhibitions

How can 3D scan models be presented? One answer to this question are virtual rooms which are presented within the museum or even online, for example on the museum’s website. We show an example.

Where are 3D scans needed in museums and archaeology?

3D scans are of crucial importance in museums and archaeology for various reasons. They offer a precise and gentle way to document and analyze artifacts and archaeological finds without damaging the original objects. Here are some specific areas of application:

Preservation and documentation
3D scans enable precise, digital documentation of works of art and artifacts, which can help to preserve the condition and structure of the object and reconstruct it in the event of damage. By capturing the smallest details, even minute damage, cracks or erosion can be documented and tracked.

Virtual replicas and research
Scans enable the creation of digital or physical replicas that can be used for research and analysis without touching the original. This allows researchers worldwide to access data and carry out investigations that would otherwise be possible on site or only at great expense.

Virtual exhibitions
Museums can use 3D scanning to create virtual exhibitions that allow visitors to explore exhibits from anywhere. This is particularly useful for rare or fragile pieces that can only be exhibited to a limited extent.

Reconstruction of damaged objects
Archaeologists and restorers use 3D scans to reconstruct fragments or damaged artifacts. The scans help to digitally assemble individual parts and thus provide a template for physical restoration work.

Analysis and measurement
In archaeology, 3D scans are used to precisely measure and analyze finds, e.g. to determine the original shape and structure of buildings or artefacts. This also helps with the classification and allocation of finds.

Education and research
3D models give students and researchers access to unique archaeological pieces that they would otherwise not be able to see. The models can be used in lessons to impart and deepen knowledge about past cultures.

Virtual restorations and simulations
Digital 3D models make it possible to virtually restore objects or visualize them in their original environment. This can help to depict historical sites in their original state and confirm or refute hypotheses.

By using 3D scanning, museums and archaeologists can protect and analyze their collections and finds more effectively and make them accessible to a wider audience.
