Abstract

This paper describes results from the fast 3D scanning project conducted at Sheffield Hallam University in collaboration with Museums Sheffield. We focus on the technological aspects that are required for fast scanning and discuss the steps in the process from scanning and noise removal to 3D post-processing and how the resulting 3D models can be made available on a standard web browser. We also discuss some implications to the teaching and learning of 3D technologies to undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
