Heritage Preservation and Architecture

New techniques have been developed to preserve historical artefacts and works of art by famous artists. The Handyscan 3D laser scanners are non-contact, non-invasive scanners that can be used to scan priceless, irreplaceable works of art.

Museum

Scanning valuable artefacts is a snap with the handheld Handyscan 3D laser scanners. The data collected is compiled in an electronic format (STL file) that can be kept at the museum or in national archives for security, restoration, and preservation purposes.

History

In order to protect and preserve our history, ancient artefacts can easily be scanned with the self-positioning Handyscan 3D laser scanner, given its non-intrusive technology. The information collected can be used in conference presentations as supporting evidence of the subject presented by specialists and historians.

Archaeology

The Handyscan 3D scanners weigh about 1 kg, so archaeologists can easily bring them to archaeological digs to scan artefacts or remains in the actual position in which they were found. This helps archaeologists reconstruct ancient animals for exhibits and museums.

Heritage and Ancient Monuments Preservation

As the years go by, ancient monuments can be damaged by time, acts of God, or human intervention. 3D representations of these monuments can be kept as electronic files after being scanned with the Handyscan 3D scanners. Because it is small and easy to carry, the Handyscan 3D handheld scanners can help specialists scan historical works of art where they are—even on site or in confined spaces in order to guarantee preservation or restoration following their original shape.

Art

With the Handyscan 3D scanners, users can effortlessly digitize gigantic sculptures or works of art to create downscale mock-ups for museums and exhibits. It can also be used to create highly accurate replicas of works of art. The models created can then be used as a negative for creating moulds to duplicate the piece. Such replicas are often sold in museums, art galleries, and souvenir shops.
