Artec 3D scanning applications in science and education

A leading forensic anthropologist needed a way to 3D scan bones, skeletons, and entire death scenes quickly, with a minimum of post-processing work.

A recent addition to the forensic reconstruction toolkit at the University of Dundee, Artec’s Eva and Space Spider 3D scanners help scientists advance their research.

Viticulture, a science that the Athenian historian Thucydides claimed to have had a civilizing effect, may not be the most expected field of study to apply Artec 3D solutions to. Yet grape cultivation stands to gain enormously from using them, as a group of researchers has shown recently in their article.

The Department of Multimedia Technologies of the State Darwin Museum is digitizing its collection using 3D scanner Artec Eva. The 3D models created are to be used in the development of interactive, educational presentations in exhibitions.

A two-millennia-old mummy had been CT scanned. But researchers also wanted a highly-detailed color scan of the mummy's exterior that wouldn't require the use of any stickers or markers when scanning.

Though 3D technology is usually perceived as a futuristic concept, a recent project it was involved in proved that it could also take us back in time. Over 10 000 years back in time to be exact.

A small team of maritime archaeologists in Germany was in a race against time to clean, scan, annotate, and photograph 228 timbers from an ancient shipwreck before winter set in.

Up until recently, the process of digitally capturing and cataloging archeological objects has been a slow and quite often inaccurate method

Valentin Vanhecke of the Dutch company 4Visualization has scanned the astonishingly well preserved skeleton of a giant dinosaur that lived 66 million years ago. The newly mounted skeleton is now on display at a local museum.

How to liven up history class and get students more engaged? Hawaiian teachers use Artec 3D scanners.

Threeding.com wanted to shine a spotlight on a wide variety of endangered birds via 3D scanning them, then making 3D models available for printing and viewing worldwide.

Blind and visually impaired people are often not allowed to touch the exhibits in museums, due to the fragile nature of the artifacts and objects.

A massive and extremely rare basking shark was caught in a fisherman’s nets off the coast of Australia.

Ogham stones are among Ireland's most remarkable national treasures. These perpendicular-cut stones bear inscriptions in the unique Irish Ogham alphabet, using a system of notches and horizontal or diagonal lines/scores to represent the sounds of an early form of the Irish language.
