Our latest replica, the unwrapped Galloway Hoard Vessel, as it might have looked 1,200 years ago. A combined CT & photogrammetry model, 3D printed, then electro encapsulated in silver, with hand painted gold & niello decorations. The decor
Earlier this year, we made this replica iron age strap junction, part of the newly discovered Melsonby hoard, for York Museum Trust. This simulates how it looked out of the ground, including simulated mud. The bronze and coral decorations are enhance
ThinkSee3D 3D replica #ichthyosaur skull at the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival recently. This was on the @charmouthhcc Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre table but will soon be on display at the museum. Thanks to Chris Moore for commissioning this work and
Two ThinkSee3D replicas made earlier this year for Reading Museum; both are Roman Silchester objects. The stone is a Roman column base with some Ogham text (a text mostly found in Ireland and rarely in England). This one was CNC carved by the brillia
It was wonderful to 3D scan and model the world famous Rosetta Stone for the British Museum last autumn. The resulting digital model, shown below, will be 3D printed in Italy to make a 1 to 1 scale replica for a museum in Turin. It was one of the m
Here's a project we completed earlier in the summer. Next year marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth so we were honoured to be asked to 3D scan the table where the great author was purported to have written and a first edition of Pride a
Love this display about replicas of the famous first recognised #dinosaur bone (a Megalosaurus dentary) by Dr Emma Nicholls @morethanadodo, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, featuring in the centre a ThinkSee3D replica (from a scan earlier
It was amazing to see Akrotiri last week. It was destroyed in the massive Theran eruption in 1,600 BCE and buried in volcanic ash, which preserved the remains of remarkable bronze age architecture, frescoes, and stunning pottery designs.
2 weeks ago, TS3D's @sdey123 did some high-res 3D scans of fresh finds at the Cerney Wick #mammoth excavation. Scanning finds in-situ (for context) & ex-situ (in a nearby tent). Including a lovely #neanderthal hand axe & a mammoth tooth and
TS3D's Steve Dey was at the Etches Collection @tec_kimmeridge on the Jurassic Dorset coast in June to produce a new high-res digital 3D model of their famous #pliosaur skull. This remarkable find is one of the best preserved pliosaur skulls ever extr
This was a challenge! A new #3D #photogrammetry scan, model & render of the skeleton of a famous 18th century racehorse. Now housed at the @royalvetcollege. 'Eclipse' is one of the most famous racehorses of all time & progenitor of nearly all
Our old friend Antinous (and product), on sale at the British Museum shop today. He's very prominent on a new display with a card explaining how he was produced at TS3D. We typically make 20 to 30 of these per year, but sales have slowed in recent mo
We are proud to announce that ThinkSee3D created 15 touch models for the newly open @NHM_London summer exhibition, including 7 bird beaks, 5 swiftlet nests & a scaled up model of a fossil Ichthyornis skull. We used 3D printing on all, but some we
Our latest work is this stunning real bronze replica for a project at the V&A @vamuseum. The original was made by Antoine-Louis Barye (1795 – 1875); a French sculptor famous for his work as an animalier, a sculptor of animals. This replica
Finished this week, for Historic Environment Scotland, a replica 'Apollo', scaled down from 1.7m to 40cm. The original is in Duff House, Banffshire. Probably made by Jan Van Nost the Younger (circa 1710-1787) in about 1740.
To mark the bicentenary of its first presentation, ThinkSee3D has gifted a new high-resolution digital 3D model of the iconic Megalosaurus jawbone to Oxford University Museum of Natural History, @morethanadodo. ThinkSee3D is based in rural #Oxfordsh
We collaboratively produced this digital to real cast #bronze replica of a Japanese, 19th century crab sculpture for a project at the Victoria and Albert Museum @vamuseum. We can now offer realistic digital 3D scans through to metal replicas in a ran
January was a busy and varied month for replica production. There are some Star Carr neolithic headdresses, 2 Japanese incense burners, a giant tardigrade, a netsuke, and 2 Egyptian shabtis. Produced for 4 different #museums.
Just #3dprinted this #T-Rex femur (thigh bone) for @wollatonhall Natural History Museum from our 3D scan of the real fossil tibia (with some extra bits for completeness). In the background, more TS3D work, a 10m long actual size image of the giant Ru
