Create colored and textured meshes of archaeological artefacts using mobile 3D scanning

3D scan technology is used for a wide range of applications in the archaeological environment, like archiving, preserving, reproduction and sharing – analogue and virtual. In all these areas, optical 3D scanning solutions make visible what the human eye can’t see.
Follow the process here to see how detailed a mesh can actually get by adding color and texture.

How to use portable 3D scanning for the restoration of architecture

Historic architecture is often seen as an important part of our cultural heritage. Preserving it for future generations is a vital task. One way to achieve this goal is through restoration. It involves the process of returning a building to its original state by repairing or reconstructing damaged or missing parts. 3D scanning technology supports in this case with the collection of data necessary for the rework of hundreds years worth of history.

3D measurement of water turbines with 3D scanning

3D scanning of turbines was performed successfully in several hydroelectric
power plants in order to assess the condition and the efficiency of these
turbines, to check their shape, to create copies or to prepare new ones. The 3D scanning system and TRITOP allow for high accuracy measurements even of large and complex components like water turbines. Such a detailed 3D model detects the slightest deviations from the ideal geometry of the rotor.
