Heritage and Restoration

Heritage and Restoration

Innovation has always been at the heart of Artscan3D. By combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced 3D scanning, digital modelling and 3D printing technologies, we’ve developed sustainable workflows that deliver exceptional results without compromising on quality or creativity.

True Visualisation

Using highly accurate 3D scanning, we capture existing sculptures, architectural details and physical models in precise digital form. These scans can then be visualised at true scale within virtual environments, whether recreating historic settings or exploring new concepts. This allows clients, architects, conservation specialists and planning authorities to see exactly how a finished piece will look before fabrication begins.

Approach

Our unique approach also enables the production of clay maquettes using 3D printing technology. Whether recreating worn or damaged heritage carvings or developing entirely new sculptural designs, these printed clay models provide an accurate foundation that can be refined by hand before being kiln fired into beautiful ceramic maquettes.

Durable

Accurate Scans

Because every project begins with an accurate digital scan, replacement carvings and new commissions can be produced with confidence that they will fit precisely within their intended location. Once refined, the model can also be printed in a lightweight, durable material for trial fitting on site before the final piece is carved or manufactured, reducing risk and ensuring complete accuracy.

This process is particularly valuable for heritage and conservation projects, where non-invasive surveying methods are essential. It enables stakeholders to review, assess and approve designs with confidence while minimising disruption to historically significant buildings and structures.

From private commissions to large-scale conservation projects, our technology provides a clear, accessible and sustainable way to present, refine and produce bespoke sculptures and architectural details. The result is greater confidence throughout the design process, reduced waste, and outstanding accuracy from concept through to installation.

3D Digital Assets

In an increasingly digital world, it has never been more important to share Art and sculpture online.

Capturing and digitizing 3D artworks gives the 3D artist a presence online like never before.
