Case Study #3
3D Scanning Museum Artifacts
Description
We were approached by the Lakeshore Museum which is located just down the block from us and they were interested in having some 3D scans done of a couple of Hackley era artifacts. They wanted to recreate samples for patrons of the museum to be able to hold, sell printed replicas and send some off to the remaining Hackley family for keepsakes. The 1st object that we scanned was a 19th century hammer used in the logging industry. The 2nd object was a bronze bust of Charles Hackley.

looking to the future
The scans ended up turning out great and we even received a letter from a descendant of Charles Hackley himself thanking us.
