On excavations, 3D scans can be used for better profile images and enable perfect distortion-free profile images in a short time. This Agisoft Metashape workflow describes how you can achieve this yourself.Continue reading3D scans for better profile pictures
This bird sculpture model was digitized by us in 2019 in the course of the KunstModell exhibition of the Museum-August-Kestner and the RP-Museum Hildesheim.
The fine surface details come into their own in the changing lighting and show the sculptor’s skill.Continue reading3D scan of an Egyptian sculptor’s model
The 34 cm diameter plate probably originally had 8 bowls into which oil or tallow and a wick each could be filled and served as a safe candlestick.
The 3D scan was carried out in the city archaeology department with the kind permission of the archaeologists there.Continue reading3D Scan – Lichterstein from Brandenburg
Restoring railways is a complex and expensive undertaking. Replacing individual signs and plaques is particularly difficult, as these are also popular with collectors, which can significantly increase their price – if these spare parts are even still available. 3D printing can provide a cost-effective solution here and help to restore the overall visual impression of…Continue reading3D printing: locomotive plate replicas
For the exhibition “KunstModell” we, together with Formwerk 3D, captured over 50 collection objects from the two museums in 3D and prepared them for a virtual study and internet presentation.Continue readingVirtual exhibitions, 3D scans for museums and research
Why do you actually need 3D scans as an archaeologist? I have the originals in the magazine and can examine the original if in doubt! This attitude is widespread and is often expressed. And as an archaeologist, I can absolutely understand this attitude. Nevertheless, I would like to outline the advantages of 3D scanning using…Continue reading2400 Year Old Wooden Wheel 3D Scanned and Digitally Reassembled
This statue of the Nereid Galatea is part of a group of figures on Brandenburg Cathedral Island. The water creature is accompanied by 4 Tritons and was created in the 17th century. The quality of the figures suggests influences from the Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The group of figures was first erected in Brandenburg…Continue readingSHORT Post – Brandenburger Galatea 3D-Scan
The “Fisherman’s Boy” is a copy of a statue by the Brandenburg sculptor Gustav Metz. It was erected in 1912 at the pond in Humboldthain by the Richard Spittas Foundation and has been in the courtyard of the Brandenburg City Museum since the 1970s. I took the pictures for the 3D scan with my iPhone…Continue readingSHORT Post – 3D Scan fisherman’s boy, Brandenburg
For 6 years my nativity figures were for sale on several different platforms and were regularly well rated, until one day a user suddenly gave negative feedback. Schlechte Qualität, keinerlei Details erkennbar. Schade ums Geld. (Bad quality, no details visible. A waste of money) Of course, I was a little taken aback by this criticism.…Continue readingRemastering the 3d printable nativity figurines
Anyone who makes 3D prints themselves is regularly faced with the problem of firmly joining different objects together. Especially miniatures made of resin are sometimes difficult to glue together.
Here are my best solutions for assembling 3D printed minis and other models.Continue readingBonding resin 3D prints, but how?
