3D Scanning / Art Restoration Scanning Service
Recreate Broken Sculpture
Recreate broken sculpture projects begin with high-resolution 3D scanning that records every remaining surface and missing detail. The resulting data supports accurate restoration decisions and guides reproduction planning so the final piece matches the original intent.
Zagnat uses portable 3D scanning to document damaged sculptures on site or in studio. Scans reveal cracks, losses, and surface texture that photographs cannot show, giving restorers and fabricators the measurements needed for faithful recreation.
Missing Detail Capture
Broken areas are scanned from multiple angles to build a complete digital record. Fine surface features and fracture edges are preserved so replacement sections can be modeled to fit exactly.
Reproduction Planning
Scan data is exported in STL, OBJ, or STEP formats for CAD modeling, 3D printing, or traditional mold making. You receive files ready for the next stage of your restoration workflow.
Scanning Process
- Project review and site assessment
- On-site or studio 3D scanning of the sculpture
- Point-cloud alignment and mesh generation
- Quality check for missing areas and surface accuracy
- File delivery and reproduction planning discussion
Project Fit
This service suits museums, conservators, and artists who need to recreate broken sculpture elements. A $200 minimum applies. Provide reference photos, existing drawings, or prior scans to speed up quoting.
