Missing Detail Capture

High-resolution scans document cracks, erosion, and absent sections on sculptures. The resulting mesh supports restorers in matching original geometry during repair work.

Reproduction Planning

Scan data enables creation of reference models for molds, inserts, or full replacements. Files can be exported in STL, OBJ, or STEP formats for further CAD work.
