3D Scanning / Art Reproduction Scanning Service

Replicate Sculpture from Original

Capture an existing sculpture in high detail and prepare it for accurate reproduction through targeted 3D scanning, replica planning, and modeling that supports downstream fabrication.

3D scan of original sculpture during object capture

Zagnat uses 3D scanning to digitize original sculptures so you can plan replicas without risking the source piece. The workflow focuses on clean object capture, strategic replica planning, and delivery of reproduction-ready models.

Object Capture and Replica Planning

Our process begins with careful scanning of the original sculpture to record surface geometry and proportions. We then review the data with you to outline replica scale, material considerations, and any required adjustments before final modeling.

Reproduction-Ready Modeling Process

  1. Object capture via structured-light or laser scanning to record the sculpture.
  2. Replica planning session to confirm scale, orientation, and output requirements.
  3. Mesh cleanup and alignment to produce a model ready for 3D printing or CNC.
  4. File export in STL, OBJ, or STEP formats for your fabricator.

Project Fit

This service suits artists, galleries, and fabricators who need to replicate sculpture from original pieces for limited editions, museum copies, or replacement works. A $200 project minimum applies.
