SHINING 3D SCAN THE WORLD

SHINING 3D SCAN THE WORLD
Create a 3D printable archive of objects of cultural significance

What is "Scan the world" project?

Digitization is of crucial importance to data processing, storage and transmission, because it "allows information of all kinds in all formats to be carried with the same efficiency and also intermingled". Images and books are spread in a prompt way through digitizing, so what about 3D artworks like sculptures?

Shining 3D, partner with MyMiniFactory, will help give access to the increasing number of 3D printer owners around the world to famous and unique art pieces through its 3D scanning technology. Over the last two years Scan the World project has collected almost five thousand digital models of sculptures and art objects, making it the world’s largest 3D printable museum.The project now covers all four corners of the globe, from the Venus de Milo at the Louvre Museum in Paris, to the open air sculptures of Russia’s Art Park Muzeon in Moscow.

This partnership between MyMiniFactory and Shining 3D will confirm Scan the World as the leading source of quality 3D printable art. We are only at the beginning of this vision for building the museum of the future.

V&A (The Victoria and Albert Museum), located in London, is the world’s leading museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.3 million objects that span over 5,000 years of human creativity.
This bust scanned by V&A is was modeled on Elizabeth (1596-1662, known as 'The Winter Queen'), the sister of Charles I of England. It was one of the first commissions recevied by the sculptor after he had left England for the Hague, where the Queen was living in exile.

Faculty of Classics, Cambridge University, is another partner who scans the world with EinScan-Po. The figure Marcus Julius Philippus (c. 204 – 249), also known commonly by his nickname Philip the Arab, was Roman Emperor from 244 to 249. Faculty of Classics printed the bust by using FDM technology after 3D scanning. The material quantity is 18g with dimensions of 70×59×91mm.

A Young Girl; La Boudeuse

A portrait of a young girl in marble by the French Sculptor Jacques Saly is mentioned (by French Sculptor/Historian Stanislas Lami) as being exhibited at the Salon in Paris in 1750.

Claude-Joseph Vernet

This bust is the masterpiece in portraiture by the sculptor, Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809). It represents Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714-1789), a celebrated landscape and marine painter and 'Peintre du Roi' (painter to the King).

Head of a Barbarian Leader

Head of Demetrios Poliorketes

Bust made of marble of a young man with regular features, depicted with a taenia and small bull-like horns sticking out from his thick short curly hair which indicate a divine origin.

Michel-Jean Sedaine

Michel-Jean Sedaine (1719-1797), poet and dramatist, was a personal friend of Pajou, who also executed a bust of Madame Sedaine (now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).

Unknown man

This man represented by this terracotta bust has not yet been identified although it is a signed and dated (June 1786) work. The sculptor, Pierre Merard, was a pupil of Edmé Bouchardon (1698-1762) and exhibited at the Salons in Paris in the 1790s.

The Juno Ludovisi

The Juno Ludovisi is a colossal Roman marble head of the 1st century CE from an acrolithic statue of an idealized and youthful Antonia Minor as the goddess Juno.

PRESS RELEASE

Shining 3D supports the art of Scan the World

In recognition of this outstanding contribution to 3D scanning, Shining 3D, world leaders in 3D scanning and printing technologies, and manufacturers of the Einscan pro 3D scanner, have announced their official support of the program.

Scan the World Preserves Cultural Artifacts By Scanning them into 3D Objects

Traditional sightseeing etiquette dictates that we only take pictures and leave only footprints of the places we've visited, but a non-profit initiative is trying to help take the sights with us by turning them into 3D prints.Scan the World intends to give more people the opportunity to experience 3D printed representations of cultural artifacts, so that we can access content we might not otherwise experience.

New technologies—and initiatives like 'Scan the World'—are helping us to preserve and access culture

As a complement to “traditional” conservation, the value to culture of being able to create, store and protect accurate records of objects is clear. Copies are now not only educational tools but also prime transmitters of precious knowledge. However, several fundamental questions emerge. What should we copy and how? What distinguishes a bad copy from one with lasting value?
