Artifact Preservation, Research, and Display: Scanning Historical Artifacts in Museums

One crucial way to understand history is through ancient artifacts. However, research is often limited since artifacts are usually kept in museums. 3D scanning technology can non-contactly and quickly generate detailed 3D data of artifacts, making it much easier to share and study, greatly aiding archaeologists and historians in their research and analysis.

This haunting scan of a skeleton from the 1629 Batavia mutiny was captured using the Revopoint MIRACO. The non-contact, rapid scanning allowed archaeologists to quickly obtain data from the remains.
