Welcome to my blog PRAEHIST 3D! I am an archaeologist and 3D generalist, specializing in 3D scanning, printing and visualization. Since 2015, I have been dedicated to digitizing archaeological finds, findings and excavation sites in order to make them accessible for research, archiving and exhibitions.
Since 2015, I have been digitizing finds, findings, excavation sites and other objects for research, archiving and use in exhibitions. The focus of my work is on archaeological objects, but I scan “almost” everything.
Thanks to my many years of experience in additive manufacturing, 3D prints of scans or reconstructions can be produced quickly on request. Of course, I also offer workshops on creating 3D models or using scanning techniques or 3D printers.
The projects and objects shown here are only a small selection of my work. Unfortunately, many projects are riddled with uncertainty as to how/if the objects can be published online.

- 3D Scan to 3D Print – Cuneiform Cylinder
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… - 3D scan and 3D print for museum replicas
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… - 3D scans for furniture restoration
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… - SHORT POST – 3D Scan Ganesha
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… - 3D scans of wooden objects
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…
