Creating Cultural Souvenirs for a 700-year Heritage Using 3D Scan to Print Solution

#shining3d #3dscanner #preservingheritage #culturalsouvenirs The concept of 3D scan to print solutions is gradually changing the way objects are preserved, recreated, and manufactured. This technology is beneficial in art and culture, where preserving heritage is of utmost importance. A recent project by SHINING 3D at The Hanging Temple is an excellent example of how this technology can be applied to create cultural souvenirs. The Hanging Temple is over 700 years old, located in the Daciyan Scenic Area of Jiande City, Zhejiang Province, China. The temple’s main hall is half embedded in the belly of the rock and half suspended in the air, hence its name: the Hanging Temple. It’s a spectacular sight! This project aimed to 3D scan the ancient stone lion at the temple’s entrance and create a cultural souvenir while preserving its intricate details and contours. Read on to discover how to use 3D scanning, reverse design, and 3D printing to create cultural souvenirs. Full art
