artefacts freed

Scan the World is the world’s largest ecosystem of free to download, 3D printable objects of cultural significance. Every object originates from 3D scan data, provided through a vast network of human beings from across the globe whose mission is to gain a greater understanding of our shared cultural heritage.

CULTURAL HERITAGE
Scan the World’s community collects stories from humanity in order to share various views on the importance and impact of culture, helping diversify our personal approach to art. This network provides a safe space for culture to be shared and discovered, no matter where in the world it comes from.
ACCESSIBILITY
By putting in the time to ensure every object is 3D printable, Scan the World ensures artifacts from around the world can be curated as a personal collection and brings facsimiles, and their stories, into anyone’s hands.
EDUCATION
Cultural artifacts teach us snapshots of humanity’s history. When these objects are made accessible and interactive, and having access to them both physically and digitally, it makes it easier for us to understand how they were made and what they depict.
PRESERVATION
