Scan 4 3D

Building the world's largest academic 3D asset library

What is Scan 4 3D?

The Vision

Scan 4 3D is an ambitious initiative to create the world's largest academic 3D asset library, with a special focus on preserving and digitizing cultural artifacts, historical objects, and educational resources from across the MENA region and beyond.

By creating high-quality 3D scans of important objects and making them accessible to students, educators, and researchers, we're building a digital repository that transcends physical limitations and democratizes access to valuable educational resources.

3D Scanning

High-precision scanning of physical objects using advanced technologies

Digital Repository

Secure cloud storage with advanced search and categorization

Global Access

Worldwide accessibility for educational institutions

Educational Focus

Designed specifically for academic and research purposes

Preserving Cultural Heritage

  • 1Digitally preserving artifacts at risk of damage or destruction
  • 2Creating detailed 3D records of historical objects for future generations
  • 3Enabling virtual exhibitions of cultural artifacts from across the MENA region
  • 4Documenting traditional crafts and techniques through 3D visualization

Why It Matters

The MENA region is home to some of the world's most significant historical and cultural artifacts, many of which are inaccessible to the broader public due to geographical, political, or preservation constraints.

By creating detailed 3D scans of these objects, we're not only preserving them digitally for future generations but also democratizing access to educational resources that were previously available only to a privileged few.

Our growing library of 3D assets serves as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and students across disciplines, from archaeology and anthropology to art, design, and engineering.
