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.

- Cyberglobe experience report
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-… - Blender 3D as a model viewer for 3D scans
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… - 3D-digitised beetles
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… - 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… - Model of the Marienkirche Brandenburg in 3D
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…
