Threeding and Artec are partnering once again to help preserve historical artifacts, but this time will be the first that they have used 3D scanning to archive religious artifacts. Working on a project to 3D scan a catalog of artifacts at the Eastern Orthodox St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria, Artec and Threeding will not only save the historical pieces for posterity as they are beginning to deteriorate, but the 3D scans will also be available online for sale as files to download and 3D print.
