ARTAX LAB, 3D SCAN LAB AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY SURVEY

Artaxlab is an innovative start up that operates since 2019; borned in the filiera artistica toscana, its aim is to add value to the cultural heritage.

ArtaxLab objective is to build a bridge between the artisan world and the one of the new and most innovative digital technologies.

 

We found the true quality of this virtual reality in the nature of each object: shape, dimension, material, location. Timing and Accuracy level of the models requested are also important quality wise.

 

Digital world represents a growing opportunity to all the productive realities, from small to big business. At the same time, it is important that activities/products communication is effective and technologically up to date. It is here that ArtaxLab is capable of designing and realizing basic digital products, such as photo or video, and innovative multimedia products, like interactive virtual tour, augmented reality tools and virtual reality. These tools can easily attract a wide audience and stimulate the interest of certain people. The important role that these tools have in the cultural heritage should not be underestimated: a better archiving process and preservation, a massive spread and a more captivating communication.

Throughout high technologies tools and technique, we try to improve this process every time is possible.

 

For this reason we believe that the following activities are essential:
• The establishment of a small and technologic centre, which functions as a backup to artisan (photo scanning, 3dPrinting).
• Cataloguing and creation of a real and virtual artistic archive.
• Paper material collection regarding these topics.
• Temporary conversion of artisanal abandoned building into historical places.

Look into the service Artax Lab instruments ffor the back up of Artists and Artisan.
