For over a decade, we have complemented our traditional restoration and casting methods with a variety of scanning methods and rapid prototype printing. Capable of fabricating highly accurate and complete skeletal reconstructions of any size and complexity, we can enlarge, reduce, mirror, or ‘correct’ geological distortions (retro-deformation) of fossil specimens and digitally sculpt missing components for both digital and physical exhibitions at any scale.

Our scanners with our five-axis router and fused deposition modelling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA) printers give us the flexibility to produce a wide variety of exhibit items for any project. The non-invasive laser scanning process protects delicate artifacts and specimens from damage while adapting to monumentally sized or precariously positioned pieces. Our familiarity with museum conservation procedures and protocol ensure confidence in our expertise in handling museum specimens and artifacts.

Pricing

Pricing is custom and unique to each job, with location, accessibility, size and complexity as the most significant variables. After photos or videos of the object, along with its dimensions and location, have been submitted, a custom quote is produced with timelines and pricing. This is followed by a voice or video call to discuss the project, scope of work, and process to alleviate any worries or concerns about the process before a deposit to finalize the agreement is made. All fossilized bones of individual specimens will be scanned and processed individually to create a watertight OBJ or Blender model file for each bone.
