FLOATSCANS

The story of FloatScans
FloatScans is an innovative Amsterdam-based startup that reimagined how we preserve and experience cultural heritage. Founded in 2018, the start-up company developed a cutting-edge 3D scanning technology—often referred to as the “Time Machine”. This 1800kg system captures the intricate geometry, color, and light interactions of large objects with exceptional precision (down to 25 microns) in just minutes, creating digital twins that are virtually indistinguishable from their physical counterparts.
By digitizing art and historical relics, FloatScans not only safeguards these treasures for future generations but also makes them accessible for interactive digital experiences, from augmented reality exhibitions to detailed research and education. Their approach has opened new avenues for museums, private collectors, and auction houses, redefining the intersection of technology and cultural preservation.
