Accessible 3D Scanning

Why 3D Scanning for Preserving Artifacts?

3D scanning plays a vital role in preserving cultural artifacts by creating precise, high-fidelity digital replicas that safeguard fragile objects from unnecessary handling and long-term deterioration. These scans capture intricate surface details and colours with millimetre accuracy, providing reliable baselines for conservation, condition monitoring, and comparative research. They also ensure resilience against risks such as humidity, fire, pests, or conflict by offering secure digital backups. Beyond preservation, 3D models expand accessibility—allowing museums, researchers, students, and communities worldwide to interact with artifacts virtually through websites, immersive experiences, or digital exhibitions. This supports inclusive education, strengthens storytelling, and enables heritage-sharing without physically moving the original objects. By future-proofing cultural memory, 3D scanning helps ensure that cultural heritage remains available, interpretable, and meaningful for generations to come.

How can Amuzeo help your organisation in 3D Scanning?

Amuzeo helps organisations build the skills and confidence to adopt 3D scanning without being limited by budget constraints or steep learning curves. Through hands-on training and practical, low-cost scanning workflows, we show teams how to capture artifacts using accessible tools such as mobile LiDAR, photogrammetry, and affordable structured-light devices. Our approach focuses on simplifying technical processes, teaching clear step-by-step methods, and introducing user-friendly platforms for presenting, sharing, and preserving 3D models. By empowering staff with sustainable, easy-to-learn techniques, Amuzeo ensures that museums, galleries, libraries, and cultural institutions can create high-quality digital replicas, enhance their storytelling, and strengthen long-term preservation—regardless of resources or prior technical experience.
