Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Relics

Rapid and Safe Acquisition
for Recording the Cultural Treasure

PMT laser scanning arm has offered a perfect solution for digital archiving.

China boasts a rich history of civilization spanning thousands of years, with its cultural relics and heritage serving as non-renewable and irreplaceable resources that bear witness to the past. To a great degree, strengthening efforts to preserve and inherit cultural heritage just means to preserve Chinese history. For this reason, there is an urgent need to archive and digitize cultural relics based on the protection of cultural relics and possible restoration in the future. By adopting a series of conservation approaches, our nation can obtain a higher civilization degree.

In view of the unique characteristics of cultural relics, it is crucial to prevent any additional damage during the process of protection and restoration by using of stringent approach. Consequently, it is necessary to employ advanced technological solutions for sampling existing cultural relics, and the PMT laser scanning arm laser scanning arm has offered a perfect solution for digital archiving.

Advantages of PMT Scan Arm
in Cultural Relics Conservation

The PMT laser scanning arm can quickly obtain the 1:1 exterior measurements of cultural relics, and the point cloud spacing is more dense and compact so we can get distinct characteristics of the relics. It is especially suitable for recording the cultural treasure.

Precise Acquisition

PMT Scan Arm provides high, medium and low resolutions to adapt to the characteristics of different structures, which is more real and accurate, as shown below.

Multi-condition Adaptation

PMT Scan Arm is not only suitable for a wider range of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure variations, but also has a low power consumption design, making it highly suitable for outdoor application.

Rapid Acquisition

PMT Scan Arm provides different exposure time and intensity, which can be adjusted and matched according to the material and color of different cultural relics to achieve the purpose of rapid acquisition.

Safe Acquisition

PMT Scan Arm performs spatial positioning based on its own coordinate system, without the need to arrange positioning assistance on the surface or around the cultural relics, and all are safety-grade lasers that will not cause damage to artifacts.

The Application of the PMT Scanning Technology in Cultural Relics Conservation

Digital Archiving

Through the utilization of 3D scanning technology, it is possible to effectively preserve all visual aspects of cultural relics in their true form, thereby providing essential foundational reference data for purposes such as reconstruction, restoration, display, and redesign. For instance, when exposed to natural elements like wind and rain over time, inscriptions located at the entrance of a temple may undergo erosion to some extent resulting in a slight blurring effect on the original handwriting.

Online Display

In the past, cultural relics could only be appreciated on-site. People from all over the world took different means of transportation, queued up to grab tickets and admired from a distance without being able to fully comprehend the historical value of artifacts deeply. By using a scanned grid model as the basic framework and then forming a texture model through texture attachment, the cultural relics can be transferred online, which facilitates wider audience reach and more effective dissemination.

Derivatives Design

The cultural and creative products have embodied cultural connotation, which can generate new value from tradition, thereby contributing to the sustainability of non-profit cultural relic institutions. In the meantime, the innovative development of ancient artifacts not only helps to preserve their intrinsic value but also means an exploration and dissemination of it.

Fragments Selection

Due to time and environmental factors, numerous cultural relics have been incomplete or even damaged since excavation, particularly ancient pottery and porcelain. Manual comparison not only poses a risk of damage but also significantly increases the workload and investment of human and material resources. Utilizing scanning technology to acquire physical models and subsequently assembling and selecting them within software (such as piecing together fragments of Terracotta Warriors) presents an excellent solution.
