3DeVOK MT Professional 3D Scanner: High-Precision Technology for Cultural Heritage Preservation

The collaboration with the Abade de Baçal Museum was made possible thanks to the outstanding performance of the MT professional 3D scanner. As a professional-grade 3D scanning system, the MT is built upon proven industrial-grade 3D scanning technology and integrates innovative multi-light-source solutions, delivering its core advantages of non-contact operation, high precision, and high efficiency.

– Non-contact scanning: Ensures complete safety for delicate artworks by avoiding any physical contact during the scanning process.

– High-precision 3D data acquisition: Captures surface details with up to 0.1 mm resolution, faithfully reproducing the original textures and forms of the artworks.

– Professional software support: Scanned 3D data can be processed with texture mapping for digital archiving, virtual exhibitions, academic research, and subsequent restoration analysis.

– Strong material adaptability: Performs efficiently under complex indoor museum lighting conditions and on challenging surfaces such as dark or reflective materials—without the need for powdering, maximizing the safety of precious artworks.
