Archiving History with Sub-Millimeter Integrity.

Non-destructive 3D scanning, digital twins, and asset preservation for museums, private collections, and cultural heritage across New Zealand and Australia.

Preserving historic architecture, museum artifacts, and fine art requires a delicate touch. AND Limited offers completely non-contact, highly accurate 3D digitization services tailored for museums, galleries, and heritage remediation projects across New Zealand and abroad.

Because our advanced 3D scanning equipment is completely mobile and untethered, we can navigate tight, sensitive, or complex heritage sites without the hazard of cables or tripods. For structural engineers tasked with seismic strengthening, we provide flawless digital maps of irregular timber framing and complex heritage facades, ensuring that new structural steel fits perfectly the first time.

Zero-Impact Digitization.

Wireless, target-free tracking ensures zero physical contact with priceless artifacts or delicate practical props. We capture geometry and high-frequency color data simultaneously, eliminating alignment errors.

01 / DIGITAL CONSERVATION & DISASTER RECOVERY

Preserving Material History Against Environmental Risk.

Physical artifacts, textiles, and architectural sites face constant environmental threats, degradation, and seismic risks. We provide sub-millimeter, non-destructive 3D scanning to create permanent, unalterable digital master records of your collection. This high-fidelity spatial data serves as a definitive baseline for structural monitoring, insurance verification, and precise replication or restoration in the event of physical loss.

  • Institutional Value: Material risk mitigation, permanent archival preservation, and structural telemetry.

  • Deliverables: High-density point clouds, uncompressed polygonal master meshes, and high-resolution texture maps.

03 / REPLICATION, RECONSTRUCTION & CUSTOM FABRICATION

Bridging Historical Data with Physical Conservation Reality.

True conservation requires precision-engineered physical solutions. Using our exact CAD data, we generate accurate structural profiles to manufacture bespoke, form-fitting shipping crates, display mounts, and conservation cradles that completely eliminate stress concentrations on delicate artifacts. Additionally, our high-performance 3D printing arm produces identical, tactile replicas for educational programs, allowing visually impaired visitors or student groups to physically interact with history without risking the provenance of the original asset.

  • Institutional Value: Conservation support, tactile learning integration, and localized custom fabrication.

  • Deliverables: Custom-engineered toolpaths, high-strength 3D printed replicas, and anatomical mounting files.

02 / COLLECTION ACCESSIBILITY & VIRTUAL EXHIBITION

De-risking Fragile Assets while Expanding Public Engagement.

90% of a museum’s collection often remains hidden in deep storage due to spatial constraints and preservation protocols. Our scanning process transforms physical specimens, sculptures, and historical assets into highly optimized, web-ready digital twins. These assets integrate seamlessly into interactive web catalogs, virtual galleries, and immersive educational AR/VR experiences—allowing global research access and public engagement without exposing fragile artifacts to physical handling or UV degradation.

  • Institutional Value: Public funding compliance, global research accessibility, and interactive educational output.

  • Deliverables: WebGL-optimized assets, 3D interactive viewer integration, and asset deployment for spatial computing.

METROLOGY & PRESERVATION ARCHIVE COMPLIANCE

Sub-Millimeter Real-World Accuracy. Zero Material Risk.

Our practice adheres to international museum and gallery preservation standards. We utilize metrology-grade optical capture systems engineered to deliver geometric accuracy and color fidelity without compromising the physical stability of historic, rare, or volatile artifacts.

  • Contactless Optical Sensing & Thermal Safety: Our scanning architecture utilizes eye-safe structured blue light and cold-spectrum LiDAR tracking. The artifact is never subjected to physical contact, chemical targeting, active pressure, or thermal elevation. It is 100% safe for light-sensitive organic pigments, textiles, ancient parchment, and unstable mediums.

  • Sub-Millimeter Dimensional Tolerances: We capture geometry at accuracy thresholds up to 0.02mm and point-cloud resolutions up to 0.05mm. This data creates a true forensic record of the asset, sufficient for scientific replication, high-resolution physical face-matching, structural degradation tracking, and micro-texture analysis.

  • Open-Archive Interoperability & Digital Handover: We refuse to lock your collection into closed, vendor-managed, or proprietary software environments. All architectural data and cultural assets are exported and delivered in universally stable master formats (.OBJ, .STL, .PLY, .STEP, and .FBX) paired with uncompressed high-bitrate color and displacement texture maps. Your data remains completely dynamic and cross-platform ready for future computing technologies.

  • Data Sovereignty & Absolute Contractual IP Protection: We maintain strict internal privacy infrastructures. No raw data, draft meshes, or institutional assets are hosted on unsecured public clouds or unmanaged third-party servers. 100% of the intellectual property rights, physical-twin copyrights, and digital access control remain exclusively with your institution from point of capture to final handover.
