This may sound like a concept from another time, but the truth of the matter is that 3D mapping of a city has a lot of real advantages that you might not normally think about. Things like trying to determine what a house will look like when it is built were things that once were just left to chance and you hoped the outcome was decent. As time has progressed, the advances have been fast and great in this area and have allowed experts to map out a city area and give potential home builders a perspective as to what the view will be for a home or even an office building that is being planned. 3D Scanning for Home Builders There are a lot of people that are looking to build their dream home in a city. In the old days, this would have been difficult to accomplish as you would not really have a shot at knowing what the view from your home. Thanks to the advancements made in 3D scanning, this is more able to deliver …

Scanning sculptures is something new that we are seeing over the last few years. It has caught on in popularity for the mere fact that is cannot only help to repair damaged pieces of art, but it can also be used to expose more people to these magnificent pieces of art that might not otherwise be seen by new people on a regular basis. This article will discuss the process of 3D scanning and create replicas of sculptures as well as other pieces of art. 3D Scanning to Repair Damaged Sculptures Taking the time to repair some of the damage that is created by time on a sculpture can salvage the piece and allow it to remain on display. This is a far cry from the old days where people had to take a sculpture off display simply in order to preserve it for future generations. With the new advances, this leads to more and more people to be able to see these sculptures and enjoy them as they were meant to be. If a sculpture does become damaged, …

There are a great number of museums that are beginning to use 3D scanning for their exhibits to help and give visitors to their museums a better glimpse into the past. This is a new tool that in the hands of archaeologists as well as museum curators allow them to see details and create images like they had never been able to in the past. There are a lot of advantages to being seen using this technology and why it will be leading the way for the future. Advantages of 3D Scans One of the biggest advantages to using this technology is the ability to capture more details than what the human eye is able to catch. This is a lot better in most ways than having to rely on a 2D model that will just not be able to give the level of detail that a 3D model will. Using 3D scanning can actually help to preserve history. There are certain areas where parts of the area are being destroyed via several methods from cultural battles and other things …
