Why 3D scan stuff?• better than photos for 3D objects
• engage new audiences
• engage old audience in new ways
• scope for multiple uses
• add to a collection without adding stuff to your museum’s storage
• get stuff out of storage
• replace damaged parts
Some types of scanning:• Laser Triangulation Scanning
• Structured Light Scanning
• Laser Pulse-based 3D Scanning
• Time-of-flight Scanning
• X-ray computed tomography (CT scan)
• Mechanical Contact Scanning
• blah blah blah…
ˌfəʊtə(ʊ)ˈɡramɪtri/noun: photogrammetry

Great. So you have a bunch of digital 3D objects - now what?
Print them! Put them into people’s hands or on display
Put them in a Museum in a Box! We’d love to help you.
Share them! Sketchfab, GitHub, self host. There’s an audience!
Sell them! The UK games industry was worth over £3.9bnin 2014. Plenty of opportunities in VR, AR, film & TV
