Architectural Restoration

When original accents can no longer be located, all hope is not lost. A 3D Laser scan of the original object can be used to recreate templates and molds for many items including hand carved wooden posts, plaster appliqué, and metal hardware. Using CNC machining, replica components can be manufactured.
"When an original is too expensive, make a new antique."



Forensics and Deformation Analysis

For inspection of a failed part, a comparisoncan be made between a scanned model and the original CAD model or an other sample.

 Fabrication and Construction Inspection


Quality and integrity of manufacturing can be assured by comparing a production sample to both the original CAD file and a sample known to be within spec.


Manufacturing and Reverse Engineering

When there is an existing sample, scanning is the ideal basis for run of replacement parts. When replacement parts no longer exist, reverse engineering and short run manufacturing is often the only way to keep antique or legacy equipment in service.

               Historical Archival / Museum

Exact replicas of original art and historical artifacts can be created from 3D Laser Scans, providing historians and enthusiasts access to rare and delicate specimens for study. Replicas could be placed out for museum visitors to touch and hold.

Virtual Museums could be made available world wide, while original specimens remains protected.

Virtual Product Visualization

Utilizing our state of the art facility, the Impact Studios design team will create a virtual computer model, and animate it to illustrate the actual product in use.

Special Effects

 

Scan in a maquette or model for inclusion in your animation or video game. Scan in people which can be animated doing things that would otherwise be impossible.
