the growing number of visitors that the preservation of the past is a delicate and difficult act. It is necessary to investi- gate an object’s historical and physical composition in order to develop better ways to protect it. There is a need for such protection whether in the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, in Europe’s churches and cathedrals or in some of the world’s greatest museums and collections.

Our service includes:

• Non-contact 2D/3D digitisation resources, specifically developed or adapted for the field of cultural heritage preservation and contemporary art • Close-range, triangulation 3D laser scanner specifically developed for recording the surface of paintings and low relief objects • Close-range triangulation structured-light 3D scanners, indicated for recording the shape and texture of objects, sculptures, surfaces and other artefacts • Close-range 2D/3D photogrammetric recording of sculp- tures’ shape and surface

THE SOLUTION

In recent years, high-resolution 2D/3D recording has be- come part of a coherent non-contact approach to the doc- umentation of cultural heritage and strategies for long-term preservation. This creates new opportunities for preserving art and cultural artefacts in both virtual and physical ways. It also gives extra security to have a digital record of the orig- inal photo or object. The challenges are to implement the specific methodology to scan and create 2D/3D recordings that hold a level of quality that can be enjoyed by audienc- es and preserved for future generations. 2D/3D digitization offers significant benefits for your archive or collections, providing audiences new ways to explore, experience and learn about artefacts on display. Not only does it dramatically increase the life and user experience of artefacts, 2D/3D digitisation also allows for faster access and retrieval, search ability, format conversion and long-term preservation. With our 2D/3D digitisation and preservation solutions, your cultural artefacts will live well into the future without any maintenance requirements.

• High definition colour recording.

• Training on cultural heritage digitalisation

• Online access to data through state-of-the-art 2D/3D navigators

• Facsimile creation and digital output

• Engineering services related to all of the above plus more in the domain of 2D and 3D capture digital fabrication (e.g. 3D printing) with all existing techniques as well as development of new equipment and methods
