In 2014 a massive copper hoard was found during a rescue excavation in Bavaria. It was then decided to take out two blocks for further excavation in the labs of the Bayerische Landesamt in Munich. There it was discovered that the hoard contained nearly 800 copper bars together with pottery. Over the last 3 years…Continue readingSHORT Post – Bronze Age hoard (Teaser)
For these renderings, I used a model from my master’s Thesis. Currently, I’m experimenting with different render settings and setups in Blender, resulting in plenty of spare pictures. Enjoy!Continue readingSHORT Post-pottery rendertests
Not all 3D scans are the same. Depending on the settings selected and the time and computing capacity available, the results of an object capture can vary greatly. It is not necessarily necessary to collect more base material, in the case of photogrammetry raw images, in order to achieve a greatly improved model quality. In…Continue readingFossil fish and the secret of 3D scan quality
tl;dr: Reprinting fragmented objects can open various great possibilities for science, education, and museums. Especially the details of modern full-color printer could create very realistic looking replicas without endangering the fragile originals. The following 3D printed archaeological find, was made possible through Formwerk3D. Pottery finds from settlements Ceramic objects from settlements are normally very fragmented.…Continue readingPottery reconstruction – 3D printing

Tombstone from the garden graveyard
Every day I cycle past a beautiful cemetery with a small church in Hanover. For a long time I have been thinking about digitizing these stones, some of which are beautiful. In addition to simple upright stones, artistic grave monuments will also appear in this series. This is now the first gravestone in this cemetery.…Continue readingTombstone from the garden graveyard
opening remarks The following article deals with a special application of 3D printing. The project described here was realized by the company Formwerk3D, for which I now work. When parts are missing Some time ago, we were contacted by the owner of a beautiful old building with an interesting request. The old building in question…Continue readingMissing parts replaced by 3D printing I

Queens in the Park
Today, I’d like to present a short test object I made using my cellphone camera. Earlier this year I relocated to Hannover, Lower Saxony, so I have to pass these two ladies every day on my way to work. Sadly, I was always too lazy to carry a good camera with me, so I decided…Continue readingQueens in the Park
Today I just want to introduce two new 3D models: Roman rooster mosaic The model created from 80 aligned images was derived from a sparse point cloud to get a first look at the final model. The texture was mapped onto the 140k poly mesh. Unfortunately, this object has no location or date. It is…Continue readingShort Post – Roman rooster and stone age axe in 3D

3D objects in 2D media ?!
Today, the ways of archaeological object documentation are changing dramatically. So it’s possible to digitize finds in 3D and to create highly detailed models of original finds. These can be viewed and analyzed interactively. This model can be viewed with photorealistic textures, as a combination of several cuts or a simple blueprint. This very dense…Continue reading3D objects in 2D media ?!
