LET'S TALK ABOUT 3D SCANNING

Transcan C 3D Scanner for Artifact Preservation and Digital Archiving

11/21/2024

0 Comments

 
There are many museums like the Smithsonian that need to preserve and document fragile artifacts, including ancient sculptures and pottery. These objects require high-detail imaging for research, virtual exhibitions, and creating replicas for display, as handling them frequently risks damage.

For such use case,  Transcan C, a professional-grade 3D scanner, is utilized to capture precise 3D models of the artifacts with high resolution color ensuring their preservation and accessibility without physical handling.

Workflow

1. Preparation
  • The artifact is placed on a rotating platform in the scanning area, ensuring stable positioning.
  • Environmental conditions are controlled (lighting, vibration-free setup) to optimize scan accuracy and detail capture.
2. Scanning Process
  • The Transcan C is configured for its dual-scan range and high-resolution capabilities (up to 0.035mm accuracy).
  • Using its multi-resolution settings, the scanner captures both the macro details (e.g., texture, cracks, carvings) and overall geometry of the artifact.
  • The scanner’s color texture capture ensures that even intricate color patterns and surface textures are accurately recorded.
  • It's a fully automated 3D scanning experience with the automated turntable.
3. Digital Processing
  • The scanned data is imported and post-processed with the 3D scanner software.
  • The museum team uses the 3D scanner software to clean, align, and merge the scans into a seamless 3D model.
  • The 3D model retains intricate details, making it suitable for study, sharing, or replication.
  • The 3D model can be saved as an STL file to be 3D printed as well.

4. Applications
  1. Digital Archive:
    • The 3D model is stored in a secure digital database for future reference and research.
    • The artifact can be digitally "handled" by researchers without risking damage to the original piece.
  2. Virtual Exhibitions:
    • The model is displayed in virtual reality (VR) or online platforms, allowing visitors worldwide to explore the artifact in a detailed 3D environment.
  3. Replica Creation:
    • 3D printing or CNC machining uses the scanned data to create high-fidelity replicas for display, allowing the original artifact to remain in controlled storage.
  4. Education:
    • The 3D model is integrated into interactive museum kiosks or AR apps for educational purposes, providing an immersive learning experience.

Benefits
  1. Preservation:
    • High-detail scans ensure the artifact's legacy is preserved digitally, even if the original deteriorates over time.
  2. Accessibility:
    • Digital models make artifacts accessible to global audiences, researchers, and educators.
  3. Non-Invasive:
    • The scanning process does not involve physical contact, preserving the artifact’s integrity.
  4. Versatility:
    • The same data can be repurposed for multiple applications, from research to public engagement.

We can think of examples such as a museum using the Transcan C to scan a delicate, intricately painted ceramic vase from 300 BC. The scanner captures its geometry and detailed color patterns, allowing:
  • Researchers to study the artifact's design.
  • The creation of a digital twin for a VR exhibit.
  • 3D printing of a replica for display in a children’s hands-on exhibit.

​The Transcan C ensures the artifact's story is preserved, shared, and celebrated without risking the original’s safety.
