Siemens: The Pergamon Altar is being digitized. “The Pergamon Altar, considered one of the most significant works of Hellenistic art and dating from the 2nd century BC from what is now Turkey, has been one of the central exhibits of the Berlin museum named after it since 1930. The monumental work will soon also be available in an interactive 3D application.”

MakeUseOf: Your phone can 3D-scan a real object well enough to print a copy of it (for free). “Knowing how to model a part in CAD or 3D design software is one thing, but no matter how skilled you are, if you’re working with a particularly complex part, it can take a lot of time and effort, even if Claude is helping you make 3D parts. The alternative is to 3D scan whatever it is you need to […]

Virginia Tech: Interactive 3D models expand veterinary learning. “The University Libraries and the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine have transformed a collection of horse dental specimens into interactive 3D teaching models that students and anyone interested in equine health can study anytime.”

India Today: As Dharavi is set to disappear, a digital twin will ensure it survives after it’s gone. “Dharavi is being preserved in a detailed digital twin before redevelopment starts in full swing and reshapes the settlement, which is India’s largest slum in Mumbai. The 3D archive is expected to guide relocation and planning while preserving a record of the neighbourhood that future […]
