ABOUT US
CultLab3D ist auf die Entwicklung von innovativen 3D-Scantechnologien spezialisiert, die flexibel miteinander kombinierbar sind. Sie eignen sie sich für Objekte unterschiedlicher Größe und erfassen automatisch Geometrie, Textur und physikalisch-optische Materialeigenschaften für eine originalgetreue und mikrometergenaue Wiedergabe.
Das Anwendungsspektrum umfasst Lösungen für die Industrie, die Bauwirtschaft, das Gesundheitswesen und die Kreativwirtschaft. 3D-Daten dienen der Qualitätssicherung, Rekonstruktion oder Flächenrückführung. Auch unterstützen sie die digitale Dokumentation, Präsentation und Erhaltung von Kulturgütern. CultLab3D verfügt über langjährige Erfahrung in der detailgetreuen Digitalisierung von Artefakten und gebäudeähnlichen Strukturen.
CultLab3D ist das Forschungslabor der Abteilung Digitalisierung von Kulturerbe am Fraunhofer-Institut für Graphische Datenverarbeitung IGD. Mit Projektförderung der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft und dem Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie entstand die weltweit erste 3D-Scanstraße für hocheffiziente 3D-Massendigitalisierung (hier Link zu CultLab3D-Technologie). Die im Rahmen dieses Projektes entwickelten 3D-Technologien werden kontinuierlich für ein breites Anwendungsspektrum optimiert – von der Erfassung, über die Visualisierung bis hin zur Reproduktion durch 3D-Druckverfahren.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
CULTURE
CultLab3D is specialized in automating the process of 3D digitization of cultural heritage artifacts. We offer detailed, color calibrated and affordable technologies for cultural institutions such as museums or auction houses. Our scanning technologies are easy to handle and make 3D digitization possible even on a large scale. They allow for large amounts of objects to be digitized efficiently in 3D while reaching micrometer precision.
INDUSTRY
CultLab3D offers automated technologies for 3D digitization in great accuracy. A special feature of our systems is that components can be scanned autonomously and in real time. The measuring is performed without teaching, irrespective of the component’s design. Besides, our systems are modular to allow a flexible combination of scanning technologies according to the respective scenario. We develop individual solutions to meet specific needs.

CultLab3D entwickelt performante 3D-Technologien für unterschiedliche Anwendungsszenarien von hochpräziser Geometrie-Erfassung kleiner Objekte bis hin zu schneller Massendigitalisierung mit autonom agierenden Robotik-Scansystemen. Wir konzentrieren uns auf Lösungen, die besonderen Anforderungen an die Genauigkeit der 3D-Erfassung genügen und mikrometergenaue Repräsentation der gescannten Objekte ermöglichen. Durch intensive Forschung entwickeln wir kontinuierlich den Stand der Technik weiter.
AWARDS
EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards 2018
On 22 June 2018, CultLab3D will be recognized with the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award 2018. The ceremony of Europe’s most prestigious prize will be taking place in the context of the European Heritage Year 2018 “Sharing Heritage” in Berlin. The Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization will receive the award in the category “research” for its outstanding achievements in preserving historic assets for future generations to come. The accolade honors the department’s leading role in the field of heritage digitization throughout Europe and its innovative approach to digitize museum objects in 3D.
The ceremony will be co-hosted by European Commissioner Tibor Navracsics and Maestro Plácido Domingo. Also, Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, President of the Federal Republic of Germany, and patron of the European Year of Cultural Heritage in Germany, will honor the winner. The event will have around 1,000 people attending, ranging from high-level officials from EU Institutions and Member States to leading representatives of heritage organisations from all over Europe.
The Europa Nostra Award recognizes notable achievements in the field of cultural heritage conservation, ranging from collection care, building restoration, to urban and rural landscape rehabilitation. It also highlights research, education and services by individuals or organizations to raise awareness for heritage protection. The award is supported by the organization Europa Nostra, which awards the prize once in a year since 1978 and since 2002 together with the European Commission.
Digital Leader Award 2017
In June 2017, the Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization was honored with Germany’s most important award in the field of digitization. The digitization project CultLab3D received the Digital Leader Award in the category “innovation”, distinguishing the team for its efforts to develop a mass digitization technology suitable for daily use in the cultural heritage sector and beyond. The Digital Leader Award recognizes companies and individuals who have significantly contributed to the digital transformation of their organization and society. It is initiated by IDG Business Media and Dimension Data.
Digital Heritage Award 2013
The scanning pipeline CultLab3D was recognized with the “2013 Digital Heritage International Congress and V-MUST.NET” award for the best technical exhibit at the Digital Heritage 2013. At the conference in Marseille, France, the prototype was presented to a large, international audience for the first time. The Digital Heritage is the biggest event on digital cultural heritage and is organized under the patronage of UNESCO. In 2013, it had more than 6000 visitors.
PROJECTS
Pergamon Altar 3D
In September 2014, the Competence Center Cultural Heritage Digitization scanned the Pergamon Altar in Berlin. The 3D scanning project was implemented in cooperation with the Antiquities Collection of the Berlin State Museums (Antikensammlung der Staatliche Museen zu Berlin) and was supported by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien, BKM).
The result is an elaborated 3D model of the more than 2000-year-old Hellenistic altar. Now the masterpiece of Ancient Greece is at least accessible online, while the exhibition hall is closed until 2019 due to renovation. Since 2013, the Pergamonmuseum is being modernized as part of the Master plan Museumsinsel. The room with the Pergamon Altar has been closed for works since November 2014.
The Pergamon Altar’s 3D model is available to the public via an online viewer and the entire architectural ensemble can be examined in detail. This virtual representation also offers information on the iconographic program. The 3D model thereby creates access to the currently inaccessible original.
M3D – Mobile 3D Acquisition and 3D Print for Industrial Applications
The aim of M3D is to examine the entire process chain from mobile 3D acquisition to 3D print in the industrial field. The vast potential of location-independent mobile devices and the so-called “cloud” is analyzed and technologies be optimized. Using the example of components and workpieces in industrial applications, their potential are dissected conceptually and technologically and tested in form of prototypes.
CultLab3D contributes to the project by developing the mobile acquisition and reconstruction in 3D (WP3) as well as by modelling data for the additive production (WP5).
