Culture + Heritage

3D scanning offers a non-contact, highly detailed method for documenting cultural artefacts, artworks and historical environments. It preserves fragile objects digitally, supports conservation and research, and enables the creation of replicas or interactive displays without risking damage to the originals. By capturing accurate geometry and surface detail, 3D scanning helps safeguard heritage while making it more accessible for education and public engagement.

Preserving the Kensington Runestone

Using the EinScan HX and EINSTAR VEGA, the Kensington Runestone was captured in high detail despite strict handling limitations. The resulting 3D model supports research, tool mark analysis and future digital exhibits while safeguarding the original artefact.

Digitising Stone Inscriptions

EinScan Libre captures detailed stone inscriptions without physical contact, preserving every carved stroke safely and accurately. The resulting 3D model can be studied, zoomed and shared, creating a digital record that protects the original artefact.

Digitising Heritage in Costa Rica

The National Museum of Costa Rica and INA use EINSTAR VEGA to digitise cultural and natural history objects with high accuracy. The collaboration shows how 3D scanning supports preservation, education and wider public access to important artefacts.

Dinosaur Fossil Reconstruction

Paleontologists use the EinScan Pro HD to capture fossil fragments and digitally reconstruct the skeleton of Taurovenator violantei. The 3D workflow supports research, preservation and public engagement through accurate models and replicas.
