I regularly travel around the country to bring my high resolution 3D scanning equipment and expertise to delicate objects and specimens that need to be digitized where they are. I have scanned subjects on exhibit in the most prestigious natural history museums in America, including the American Museum of Natural History, Yale Peabody Museum and Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. If your scanning subject is too bulky, delicate, valuable or otherwise attached to its location and cannot be transported, 3D With a Vengeance can come to you.
I 3D scanned an old sunbleached color 3D print memorializing a deceased family patriarch in order to restore the coloration for a fresh vivid print. Colors were sampled from a photo of the print from before it was sun-damaged as well as unbleached regions of the print when it was scanned and the 3D model was restored to its original color for printing a restored model.
This historically significant dinosaur skeleton was mounted permanently on exhibit decades ago in a manner making disassembly impossible through non-destructive means. The challenge of reproducing this skeleton was tackled by 3D scanning the articulated skeleton in place on exhibit and digitally restoring the obscured surfaces before 3D printing the individual restored bones. According to Artec, this is the largest subject scanned by the Artec Spider and they were so impressed with the results that they used an assembly of the master scans to create this reduced-resolution model to share online.
3D With a Vengeance uses serious hardware to get the precise results clients need, including the Artec Spider handheld 3D scanner. Using this portable 3D scanning system I can achieve scanning resolutions as accurate as 50 microns. According to the manufacturer, I hold the record for the two largest scanning subjects tackled using their Artec Spider scanner. With permission from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a client of mine was able to share scan data I captured with the 3D scanner manufacturer, Artec. They used the 3D scans I captured to create a low-resolution version of the Stegosaurus skeleton for viewing online: https://www.artec3d.com/3d-models/stegosaurus-skeleton
