The following article is not sponsored, but rather a summary of my own experiences with the Cyberglobe It is therefore not a proper review, but rather my personal opinion. to the conclusion the Cyberglobe Books2net has been a cornerstone of digitisation and a manufacturer of high-quality scanner hardware for decades. Together with Dr. Clauß Bild-…Continue readingCyberglobe experience report

Scans and reconstructions are increasingly being requested by museums and research institutes, usually for specific projects or exhibitions. However, after this primary use, the data is mostly forgotten or even accidentally deleted. This is mainly due to the unfamiliar handling of 3D data and lack of accessibility. To overcome these hurdles, I would like to…Continue readingBlender 3D as a model viewer for 3D scans
Insects are extremely exciting creatures. Their delicate chitinous armour and exoskeleton leave the observer with an almost extraterrestrial impression. Not only entomologists but also visitors are fascinated by the variety of shapes, sizes and colours in insect collections. Unfortunately, they are usually tiny and fragile and can therefore only reveal their beauty under magnifying glasses…Continue reading3D-digitised beetles

Monitoring gradual decay with 3D scans
Creeping decay and weathering can be monitored quickly and cost-effectively using modern 3D scans in order to initiate protective measures at the right time. Monuments and outdoor objects in particular are more affected by wind and weather than you might think. As the erosion processes are usually gradual, the increasing damage is usually noticed too…Continue readingMonitoring gradual decay with 3D scans
The former St. Mary’s Church on the Marienberg, Brandenburg, has not existed for a long time. It was demolished in 1557 and part of its structure can still be found in other buildings in Brandenburg today. Two models of St. Mary’s Church were made in the 18th century. One made of clay is still kept…Continue readingModel of the Marienkirche Brandenburg in 3D
Reproduction is a major issue in museums, especially without jeopardizing the originals. In the past, casts of sculptures and finds were made for this purpose. Everyone knows the large collections of casts of antiquities in Berlin and Munich with their impressive collections of statues. Many casts can also be seen in museums, but often without…Continue reading3D Scan to 3D Print – Cuneiform Cylinder
Summary 3D scan and 3D print for museum replicasThis richly decorated bracteate (decorative disk made of precious metal) was to be replicated for a museum exhibition. For this purpose, I made a 3D scan of the sheet metal and prepared it for a later highly detailed SLA printout. The 3D print was then faithfully painted…Continue reading3D scan and 3D print for museum replicas
3D scans for furniture restoration can generate considerable savings, as complex applications do not have to be reproduced manually but can be duplicated digitally. After digitization, these can be reproduced as often as required. And thus become part of your digital parts warehouse. In this example, two lion figures were to be replicated. These flank…Continue reading3D scans for furniture restoration
This 3D scan of a small elephant-headed statue of Ganesha is based on an old plaster figure. The original statue has since been lost due to water damage, but can be reprinted at any time using this 3D data. Cultural assets, mementos and works of art are always at risk of being damaged, stolen or…Continue readingSHORT POST – 3D Scan Ganesha
The documentation of wood finds on excavations is always a race against time. As soon as the wood finds are uncovered from their sealed environment, they react with our oxygen-rich atmosphere and begin their decay process. There are various ways of slowing down these processes. Immersion baths, oxygen-sealed storage or stabilization with preservatives are the…Continue reading3D scans of wooden objects
