3D scanning of the coat of arms of the city of Jáchymov

A wax model of the city of Jáchymov was delivered for 3D scanning, which was created on the basis of preserved information. The wax model with a diameter of approx. 260 mm, supplemented with plaster parts, was primarily created as a model for the production of molds from which the metal signs of the city of Jáchymov were subsequently cast.

The signs will be used as part of the railings on the stairs to the Jáchymov town hall. Due to the uniqueness of the sign model, digitization in the form of 3D scanning was chosen. In addition to simpler and "safer" archiving (there is a minimal chance that the model, in this case the data, will be damaged or lost), the output from the 3D scanner can also be used as a basis for the production of other characters, which can have arbitrary dimensions, which would be impossible with a wax model.

At this time, the town hall is still being repaired and the signs have not yet been installed.
