Supporting Scientific Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Preservation

In the field of cultural heritage preservation and restoration, Tomo Industrial CT technology offers a unique non-destructive testing approach, providing a new perspective. This technology uses radiation imaging to precisely capture the internal structure of artifacts through 2D cross-sectional or 3D images without physical contact, offering valuable information for preservation and restoration. Its applications include determining the relative positions of internal components, functional analysis, precise measurement of structural dimensions, density determination, and use in reverse engineering.

Internal Structure and Craftsmanship Analysis of Bronze Artifacts

Especially in the restoration and preservation of bronze artifacts, industrial CT technology can reveal hidden craftsmanship features, such as clay cores and copper spacers, as well as explore the internal structure and damage of artifacts, providing deep insights into the material and deterioration patterns of cultural relics.



Guiding and Developing Cultural Heritage Restoration Plans

Most artifacts are unearthed with defects such as fragmentation, fractures, and deformation due to long-term burial corrosion and pressure. Some unearthed bronze artifacts are mixed with soil and attachments, forming "wrapped mixtures." The combination of materials with different properties, strengths, and degrees of damage makes the formulation of preservation plans, extraction methods, and cleaning steps highly complex and variable. The important surface patterns and inscriptions of wrapped bronze artifacts are not only severely obscured but also threaten the material continuity of the artifacts themselves, posing challenges for subsequent research and utilization.



Reverse Engineering

Industrial CT performs 3D CT scanning on movable artifacts to obtain their 3D structural data, meeting the needs of emergency data collection for newly unearthed artifacts, protective data modeling and restoration of existing artifacts, digital museum construction, and the development of related cultural and creative products.
