While plaster molding is commonly used for artifact replication, this method is not permitted for high-value treasures with unique stylistic features. Using the HL-3DH-F handheld 3D scanner to capture 3D data of the "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" bronze artifact allows for precise and rapid replication without compromising the artifact's appearance.

1. Cultural relics, having withstood the test of millennia, are exceptionally precious; capturing 3D data without damaging the artifacts ensures their effective preservation.

2. Traditional measurement methods can only capture partial data from the "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" bronze sculpture; they fail to measure intricate surface details, resulting in incomplete data that makes it impossible to construct a comprehensive 3D digital model of the artifact.

After assessing the specific requirements, HOLON 3D technical engineers utilized the HL-3DH-3M handheld 3D scanner to rapidly capture high-precision 3D data of the "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" (Ma Ta Fei Yan). They then employed reverse engineering software to convert the point cloud data into a triangular mesh model and performed post-processing within design software to establish a comprehensive 3D digital archive of the bronze artifact.

The HL-3DH-3M handheld 3D scanner is compact, lightweight, and user-friendly, making it ideal for scanning precious items such as cultural relics. Capturing the 3D data of the bronze artifact takes only 2–3 minutes, with the scanning process synchronized in real-time to the computer for clear, intuitive visualization.

Applications of the acquired 3D data:

1.  Collects 3D data without damaging the bronze artifact, effectively preserving the precious object.

2.  Rapidly captures the complete 3D data of the artifact, significantly shortening the scanning and documentation cycle.

3.  Accurately records data to create a permanent, authentic, and complete 3D digital archive of the cultural relic.

4.  Facilitates meticulous restoration of the artifact, helping to perpetuate its magnificent cultural legacy.
