3D-ING Scanning

SOLUTIONS / ART AND HERITAGE DIGITISATION

Preserve shape and appearance for future research.

Digital capture of geometry and, where needed, colour texture enables documenting objects, building digital collections and supporting research and restoration planning.

01 / DIGITAL CAPTURE

Document the object from every side.

Digital capture of geometry and, where needed, colour texture supports digital collections, research and restoration planning. We adapt the process to the object's material and condition.

FROM OBJECT TO USABLE DATA

The object's details. Its digital image.

02 / SURFACE DETAIL

Preserve the traces that define the object.

Shape, inscriptions, ornament and signs of wear become part of the digital documentation. Use of markers, surface preparation and handling must be agreed with the collection's custodian.

03 / COLOUR TEXTURE

Connect geometry with appearance.

Colour data complements the object's shape. When the purpose requires more detailed texture, we add photographs and processing in suitable software.

04 / ARCHIVE AND RESEARCH

Prepare the model for its next use.

A processed and documented model is the basis for archiving, condition studies and virtual exhibitions. Export and model complexity are adapted to the chosen archive or viewer.

EXAMPLE TASKS

What do you want to achieve?

01

Digital archive

Documenting shape, surface detail and appearance of the object.

02

Research and restoration

A digital basis for condition analysis and planning interventions.

03

Virtual exhibitions

Preparing models to display and bring the collection closer to visitors.

WORKFLOW / BASIS FOR CHOICE

Define the result.

We adapt the process to the object's material and condition. Use of markers, surface preparation and handling must be agreed with the collection's custodian.

Enquiry checklist
  1. 01

    Agreeing a safe capture process

    Agree handling and capture method with the collection's custodian.

  2. 02

    Geometry scanning

    Document the shape and important surface detail.

  3. 03

    Processing and documenting the model

    Prepare the geometry and record process data.

  4. 04

    Texture reconstruction if needed

    Add colour processing if the required appearance needs it.

  5. 05

    Archiving and preparing a presentation

    Export the documented model for an archive or digital exhibition.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR ENQUIRY

Type and sensitivity of the object, dimensions, access conditions, colour requirements and purpose of the digital archive.

What do you want to scan and what result do you need?

Describe the object, its size, material and the intended use of the data. Together we can clarify the basis for choosing equipment.
