Cloning an archaeological artifact
By: Stéphane Auclair
21 Apr 2010This article explains how Creative Tools cloned a thousand-year-old archaeological artifact using a Color Handyscan 3D scanner and a ZPrinter 650 3D printer from Z Corporation.
This project stemmed from a fascinating archaeological finding of a thousand year ol
d Viking belt buckle. Andreas Johansson from Länsmuseet Halmstad lent us the magnificent artifact that had been found in Kungälv close to Gothenburg in Sweden.
They decided to evaluate a method of duplicating archaeological artifacts and create copies that would be as accurate as possible – down to surface color and texture.
