Heritage preservation and architecture

"The Handyscan 3D scanner has proved invaluable for our work in the cultural heritage sector. We undertake projects in difficult terrain and having a handheld scanner with real-time meshing allows us to work quickly and efficiently in the field. The technical support provided by Creaform has been particularly useful - no undertaking was too daunting for them and they were always keen to provide new ideas and solutions for us."

Heritage preservation and architecture ways of working, conserving and archiving have been drastically changing over the past few years, with the introduction of the handheld, portable Handyscan 3D scanning technology.

The full scope of use of the 3D scanning technology in these industries is yet to be determined, as new applications are discovered day after day.

Virtual Museums

  • Representation of art pieces for multimedia presentations
  • 3D scanning for virtual museums online or on-site

Conservation, restoration and digital archiving

  • Non contact 3D scanning of artworks, museum exhibits and existing buildings in order to create 3D files
  • 3D files post-treatment
  • Reverse engineering/repairs based on remains
  • Virtual restoration

Archaeology

  • On-site, non contact color 3D scanning of fossils/artefacts for reconstitution and reconstruction purposes
  • 3D reproduction of archaeological/historical sites

Marketing

  • Scale up/down of artwork and sculptures for rapid prototyping and mass production of detailed and accurate replicas

Architecture

  • 2D Drawing
  • 3D Modeling
  • Reverse engineering of existing buildings for machining purposes (ex.: scale models, reproduction)
  • Scale-ups/downs of architectural models
  • 3D archiving of architectural models
  • Restorations of existing buildings according to original plans
  • Building impairment assessment
