3D Scanning in 
Research and Science

Whether in the classroom, museum, or out in the field, 3D scanners and 3D scanning software are used by science and education professionals all over the world to discover, preserve, and explore historical artifacts, reconstruct crime scenes, study extinct animal species or entire civilizations, and more.

Learn how portable 3D scanning solutions are used to collect extremely accurate and high-quality 3D scan data in these industries.

Explore some common applications

Preservation

Eventually all historical artifacts go bad if they are not preserved. 3D scanning now makes it possible to preserve artifacts in ways that are not as susceptible to corruption and not affected by natural decay. 3D scanners can capture the object and digitize it. This means that an exact replica can be recreated into a 3D model for people to enjoy in the future.

Restoration

3D Scanning will capture sufficient and precise 3D data from different directions, which contributes to the restoration of culture relics that may have been accidentally damaged. Experts can then virtually restore the heritages through 3D software.

Education

3D scanning can be used as an innovative and efficient approach to creating customized products for research and education. In marine biology, 3D scanners are used by professionals to create custom fitting tags for a marine animals for tracking purposes.
