Through lectures, case studies, demonstrations and hands-on activities, this workshop provides an introduction to 3D scanning technology and the range of rapid-prototyping solutions currently available for conservators to use in condition reporting, reproduction, mount-making, or to completing virtual restorations.
Participants will learn about new developments in the field of 3D scanning, be able to determine whether they wish to create a 3D scanning set up within their home institutions, collaborate with other museums with 3D scanning equipment, or, will be able to understand when to turn to available technologies at local universities, or businesses to provide solutions to specific conservation challenges.
