3D Scanning / Art Restoration Scanning Service
Restore Damaged Sculpture
Use 3D scanning to restore damaged sculpture by capturing missing details and supporting accurate reproduction planning.
Zagnat provides 3D scanning services focused on art restoration projects. The process records surface condition, identifies lost features, and generates data for planning repairs or replacements.
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.
Scanning Process
- Project review to confirm sculpture size, material, and access needs.
- On-site or studio scanning to record all surfaces and damaged areas.
- Mesh alignment and cleanup to produce a complete digital record.
- File delivery with options for restoration teams to review missing detail zones.
Project Fit
This service suits conservators, museums, and studios handling sculptures with structural damage or lost ornamentation. A $200 minimum applies. Provide photos and dimensions for initial assessment.
