APPLICATION FIELDS
The main area of activity of the firm is the survey and documentation for the conservation of cultural heritage, focusing on the use of advanced technologies: 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry; production of digital and full-scale replica; GIS projects for documentation management; video simulations and navigable 3D models also in augmented reality AR and virtual reality VR; production of software and Apps for the management of three-dimensional models both online and locally on PC.
SURVEY AND DOCUMENTATION FOR CONSERVATION
The field experience acquired through the years and the use of the most up-to-date technologies guarantee a highly advanced approach regarding the analysis and the survey of the heritage, an essential basis for thematic studies and for any other further operation (condition survey, design, bill of quantities, works’ time schedule, structural investigations etc.). Moreover, an accurate survey helps achieving a proper knowledge of the cultural site/monument, increasing the success of conservation and presentation operations.Since the early 2000s our activity has been focused on finding new solutions for 3D surveying and documentation, contributing to the development of highly innovative technical systems, currently utilized in the cultural heritage sector. We’ve been, particularly, one of the first companies to use integrated systems of survey that combine 3D photogrammetric technologies, laser scans and topographic systems (2011/2012 projects carried out in Iraq and Kosovo, Unesco and US Department).
Our innovative techniques allow us to produce 3D models capable of accurately and rigorously describing objects. These techniques include the combined use of specific software and our custom-developed applications, software, and methodologies. This system enables us to create an impressive number of perfectly balanced models in terms of both geometric complexity and object surface quality (texture).
The perfect copy of the surface of the object allows us to quickly and easily produce a wide range of both 3D and 2D representations.
Among the 2D outputs, those fundamental for the planning of restoration interventions hold particular importance (Plans, elevations and sections, both in CAD format and orthophotographic format).
The 3D outputs are closely tied to the quality of the 3D models produced during the first phase of the work. In particular, we can produce models aimed at the dissemination and enhancement of the asset, including video simulations and navigable models thanks to specific software we have developed; as well as technical models manageable in BIM environments or in software for 3D modelling and processing.
TRAINING AND RESEARCH
On top of the constant commitment in the field of applied research, our technicians carry out training activities in a national and international sphere. The subject of courses and lessons is primary documentation and advanced 3D technologies for surveying and restoration purposes.
the details of the courses and lectures are described in the “Projects” section in the documents in pdf format downloadable on the page.
