Replication for the Mysteries of Egypt Exhibition at the Canadian Museum of Civilization1998 - Gatineau, Canada The 3D image data can be transferred into CAD models for fabricating accurate 1:1 or scale replicas using modern replication technologies such as stereo lithography. There are four important advantages to this approach for museum and heritage applications.
As an example, during the Mysteries of Egypt Exhibition, the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC), used the Large Volume Laser Scanner to scan a model of a sphinx in order to prepare smaller replicas for sale in the Museum shop during the exhibition. ![]() Figure 1: The replicas were prepared using the 3D model data of a large model of a sphinx scanned using the Large Volume Laser Scanner. ![]() Figure 2: Scale replicas of a sphinx were sold in the Museum shop during the exhibition. The original sphinx measured 2 m in length while the scale replicas were 28 cm and 11 cm in length. |
