3D PRINTING FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION/RESTORATION
AJSNY has all of the tools necessary to help historic preservation specialists record, reconstruct or replace even the most intricate interior and exterior details. The same photogrammetry process we've employed for large volume 3D scanning can be used to generate highly detailed polygonal mesh geometry on a much smaller scale. This geometry (after some manual cleanup and/or reconstruction) can in turn be printed and used directly (for certain interior details) or turned into molds for casting finished details in more durable materials.

A section of the top four stories of the Flatiron Building's facade, 3D-printed from manually processed photogrammetry scan data.
The finished detail print with support material removed. This object can be used to create a mold, which can in turn be used to cast functional replacements for damaged facade components.
