Heritage Preservation

Artec 3D Scanners are portable, phenomenally quick and can be used with objects of various sizes. There’s no need to move scanned items or to place markers on the object. These are the advantages that make our 3D Scanners an indispensable tool in the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage.

Virtual museums

3D copies of sculptures, bas-reliefs, haut-reliefs, painting frames and interior decor captured by Artec scanners lend an extraordinary authenticity to virtual exhibitions. Now any museum in the world can make its collection accessible to millions of people through a computer screen and, in addition, can draw the public’s attention to items that may be held in a museum’s vault due to lack of display space.

Restoration

Restoration of interiors and entire buildings means reproducing missing features of the decor. This means obtaining exact 3D copies of features of sculpture, architecture, stucco ornaments or fragments of antique furniture. Artec 3D Scanners enable users to carry out these tasks with ease and concentrate on producing the items needed in order to restore the original look.

Archives and catalogues

The Artec 3D Scanner can be used to make copies of items found in the course of archaeological or palaeontological work, such as fragments of ceramics or bone. This means databases can be set up and made accessible to researchers.
