Introduction to 3D technologies and
open digitised collections
Jonathan BeckFounder and manager, Scan the World
Largest online platform for 3D printable objects of cultural significance.
Contributed by either a community of enthusiasts or an internal team working on an official capacity with institutions.
Everything is uploaded with appropriate metadata and backlinks to institution’s online databases.
Free to download with licensing varying on the institution.
Non-profit, community built initiative archiving cultural artefacts

3D Imaging
Virgin and Child
Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge

How do you scan?
Cheap
Accessible
Open-Source technology
Exports photographic texture
Calculating dimension not intrinsic to process
Slow processing
Learning curve
Photogrammetry
Series of overlapping photographs to produce a 3D representation of an object or environment
Experimented with as early as 1860 by artist François Willème
Can use a single digital camera (or smartphone) to produce a nice quality scan
Photogrammetry
Software:
- Agisoft Photoscan
- RealityCapture
- Autodesk ReCap
- Meshlab (free)
Structured Light
Comprised of two cameras and a projector, either handheld or placed on a tripod
Familiar pattern projected onto surface, distortion to the pattern is recorded by the camera’s sensors
100 micron point accuracy with more guaranteed quality
Less learning curve
Immediacy of data capture
Discrepancies in texture capture
Expensive
Size limitations
Structured Light
Hardware:
- Artec Eva (30cm+) - $$
- Artec Spider (-30cm) - $$
- Artec Leo - $$$
- HP DAVID 3D - $$
- Shining3D Einscan Pro - $
- Creaform Go - $$$
Lidar
Infrared laser scanning
Tripod fires points out from the rangefinder, differences in laser return times and wavelengths produce a ‘point cloud’ of three dimensional data
Can scan most materials, ranging from translucent materials to chemical compounds and singular molecules
Additive Manufacturing
Kneeling Angel

3D Printing
FDM - Fused Deposition Modelling
Rapid prototyping, modelling, maquettes
Cost-effective means of production
Filament is generally a plastic composite
SLA - Stereolithography
Resin based additive manufacturing
High precision, small, intricate shapes
Used in jewellery and modelmaking as is easy to cast post production
SLS - Selective laser sintering
Powder based printer, fused layer by layer with lasers
Doesn’t produce support material (as seen in FDM and SLA printing)
Prints polymers such as nylon and polystyrene, steel, titanium and alloy mixtures.

Open Digitised Collections

Releasing digitised museum collections with an open license (CC0)
Inspiring new knowledge, creativity, access and interpretations
Breaking the collection beyond the museum’s walls to bring a global audience back to them
Just 1% of many museum collections are on display, the digital is the only place to present this
If a museum’s collection isn’t online, it doesn’t exist
What does a museum’s collection mean to those who are partially sighted or blind?
Traditionally enforced museum rule of ‘do not touch’ makes accessing culture close to impossible for people who have visual impairments.
3D printing allows for the cheap production of high quality facsimiles which in tern, provides someone with the incredible experience of engaging with artefacts.
Use cases - Accessibility
Torso of a soldier
Musée de Mougins, France
CC-BY-NC 2.5
Use cases - Education
Uses for students, drawing classes can use 3D reference rather than 2D images
Object based learning
Scanathons - learn about the art and the technology!
Use cases - Reinterpretation
Niv Shafran
2017
Open data means a continued conversation outside of the museum’s walls
Remixing and reinterpretations of collections allows for a new voice to be added to the museum’s ecosystem
“Our understanding of research, education, artistic creativity, and the progress of knowledge is built upon the axiom that no idea stands alone, and that all innovation is built on the ideas and innovation of others.”
