3D Scanning & 3D Printing Glass Statues: Fablab ArnhemX Museum Lalique
The scaled-up digital model was then 3D printed using SLA technology, known for its high precision and smooth finish. Crystal-like resin was selected to replicate the glass effect, followed by polishing for enhanced transparency. These prints served as the basis for new silicone molds, enabling the creation of 12 polyurethane statues for the fountain’s reconstruction. This project demonstrates how modern 3D scanning and printing can revive lost artistic treasures, allowing Museum Lalique to reintroduce the fountain’s beauty to the public while showcasing the role of digital fabrication in art restoration.
The FreeScan UE Pro 3D scanner effectively addressed these challenges by offering high-precision scanning with 26+7+1 blue laser lines and built-in photogrammetry, achieving an accuracy of up to 0.02mm. Using markers and matting spray, the scanner captured comprehensive data, ensuring accurate reverse engineering of the damaged components. Advanced laser scanning modes allowed for detailed scans of critical areas, facilitating the creation of precise CAD models for repair and replication. This innovation reduced downtime and costs by enabling proactive maintenance, marking a transformative step in ship maintenance and ensuring enhanced reliability in maritime operations.
