3D suite

Our suite features imaging equipment, including 3D scanners, a Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) acquisition dome, and digital photographic equipment.

We also count with high-end computers to post-process the data as well as a Virtual Reality (VR) headset to provide additional user interfaces to interact with the virtual content.

We can provide access to 3D printers, including fused deposition modelling (FDM) printers and desktop stereolithography (SLA) for the accurate reproduction of 3D models.

This equipment can be used for creating digital images and 3D models of a variety of objects and environments, such as artworks, architecture, design prototypes, engineering parts and body parts.

Services

We offer a wide variety of consultancy and research services including:

  • 3D imaging/digitisation, including 3D scanning and photogrammetry (various sizes and accuracies of the data are possible depending on the application).
  • Digitisation of RTI information, which is useful for visualising digitally almost flat and potentially reflective  surfaces such as coins, reliefs and engravings in a variety of materials.
  • Development of 3D digital collections and virtual environments.
  • Virtual/Mixed Reality applications.
  • Customisable design and 3D printing.
  • Machine learning technologies for visual content.
