Scanned using Artec 3D technology

Eva HD

When it comes to digitizing such fragile historical artifacts as bones, skeletons, and skulls of rare creatures, be it a dinosaur, a mammoth, or ancient human remains, 3D data quality is key.

Eva HD

Lobster HD

Every stretch of salty exoskeleton, legs, and antennae has been lovingly captured in high-resolution color 3D and reborn in the digital realm.

Eva

Alligator Tail

They say that Nature is the perfect designer, and if you could ask Mr. Stubbs about this, he’d probably agree with you.

S. Spider

Bovine heart

The main difficulty with scanning internal organs is that they are soft and change shape when flipped, making it difficult to combine scans made from different sides.

Eva

Damaliscus Korrigum

A beautiful skull of an African antelope, captured with Eva in two scans: the front and the back. These were then automatically aligned in Artec Studio.

Eva

Fish

A fish can be tricky to scan, since it's body geometry changes when you turn it over to scan the other side, unless it's frozen (and in this case it was not).

S. Spider

Flower

Scanning this flower with Artec Space Spider was fairly easy — one just needed to be mindful of perspective change in geometry of the petals once the object was turned over.

S. Spider

Fox skull

This small and fragile skull of a desert fox was scanned with Artec Spider. While the model looks complicated, there were no challenging areas to scan.

S. Spider

Large female cane toad

The intricate geometry of the frog’s skin was captured by Artec Spider in just 6 minutes! The model was scanned in two passes.

Leo

Miss Lucy, aka "Scoots"

Lucy, a 7-month-old puppy, was tired during her scan. Late one evening, after a full day, Lucy jumped onto an ottoman, ready to snooze. Thus a perfect Leo scanning moment appeared!

Leo

Mr. Wilson, aka "Bamboozle"

Wilson, a 7-year-old Ivory Lab, is very food-motivated. Without an ample supply of treats, this scan wouldn’t have happened.

S. Spider

Mushroom (pleurotus eryngii)

This pleurotus eryngii mushroom was very easy to scan due to its size and thickness.

S. Spider

Product part

Product part made of plastic. Scanning time was around 5 minutes, and post-processing took about 20 minutes. This is a good example of fast reverse engineering.

S. Spider

Puffer Fish

A taxidermy porcupine fish, scanned with Space Spider. A somewhat challenging object due to its semi-translucent skin and difficult geometry.

S. Spider

Sea shell

Even though the sea shell has complex geometrical curves and arms, its surface was easily captured with Artec Spider.

Eva

Spinal bone

Although being slightly bigger than the original, this object still disproves the myth that Eva is only suitable for large objects.

Micro

Squirrel skull

This diminutive skull's 55mm length, 26mm height, and 34mm width, together with its ample degree of geometric complexity, made it a fine choice for scanning with Micro.

S. Spider

Starfish

The object has a lot of fine geometry and small complex sections for scanning.

S. Spider

Stegosaurus Skeleton

The Stegosaurus from the Denver museum of the Nature and Science is more than 26 feet long and over nine feet tall.

Combo

The Kensington Runestone

Eva was used to scan the entire stone, resulting in a superb digital replica, while Space Spider scanned the runes themselves, for a deeper view of the engraving marks and the surrounding stone, after which all scans were combined into one final model.

Leo

Triceratops skull

This challenge was one of prehistoric proportions: to digitize the skull of a triceratops for virtual viewing, academic study, and to create a replica.

S. Spider

Turkana Boy

Just like the Fox Skull, Turkana Boy skull consisted of two separate parts that were scanned separately, and aligned afterwards.

S. Spider

Pike fish head

A precise scan was created with Spider in just 6 minutes, with 25 minutes of processing time, including texturing.
