3D Scanning: Heritage Preservation - Creaform

http://www.creaform3d.com/en/applications-industries/preservation/application... - In museology, one of the challenges is to document and archive the different collections in their original state. Documentation of the pieces of art is then critical for curators, archivists and conservation specialists. A new solution is now available to answer the needs of accurate and convenient archiving of such art: digital curation. This process applied to museology will help in preserving and documenting the different museum collections for current and future reference. The first step of this process is to produce 3D digital objects: this is where the Handyscan 3D comes into play!
Advantages of the Handyscan 3D Solution

Archiving museum collections calls for the acquisition of geometry and color on objects of various shapes and complexity, potentially performed in any kind of environment. Due to its impressive portability, the Handyscan 3D can perform the acquisition directly in the museum but also in a storage area or at a collector's location.

Since the archivist or curator wants to reproduce the object in all its detail, the acquisition must be accurate and give all the information needed to recreate the 3D digital art piece. The Handyscan 3D will provide complete and accurate mesh models.

The Handyscan 3D solution helps to save a considerable amount of time in documenting and archiving. The creation of 3D digital models allows a convenient and accurate documentation process.
