We scan works of Art, Historic Materials, and Architecture
Our 3D Laser Scanning Process CRUCIBLE SYSTEM™ is unique. It affords an exact reproduction, in virtual space, of the form and local color of a physical work of art or the architecture that contains it. Light is converted to data in the form of digital point clouds from (+ -) 1mm to .25mm. The data is collected, stored, and composited with ultra-high-definition digital images, which are in turn are transferred to a selective read-processing program. The information collected through the CRUCIBLE SYSTEM™ 3D Laser Scanning process can be CAD integrated for archiving, research, reverse engineering, modeling, prototyping, scale rendering, architectural inspections, quality control, art conservation, and many other applications.
Provenance: The System is primarily used to create a forensic level record of the physical state of the work scanned. The resultant color map and topography of the surfaces are composited for verification of authenticity. A painting or sculpture is captured with a detailed file format, as a proprietary, digital certificate of provenance. Security, insurance, and
Condition checking: When an Institution or private owner lends a work for display, the file is compared to a subsequent scan for damage or alteration. The work of art can be scrutinized for damage. Built Works Registry:
Authentication: CRUCIBLE SYSTEM™ is a contributor to the research and implementation of a universal archive for the study of art, and architecture by making accessible select files for historical analysis. The detailed composites are virtual records of the color, ambient texture, and spatial configuration of relevant, and often endangered heritage sites and works.
