Top 2: Creaform 3D scanners help Ford restore Michigan Central Station

Ford Motor Company is working to restore the iconic building of Michigan Central Station using innovative 3D scanning technology to ensure historical accuracy of the rebuilding. More precisely, Ford is using Creaform 3D laser scanners to create 3D models of various elements of the station to enable contractors to repair or replicate the structures. The goal is to ensure the historical design accuracy of the building. A Creaform 3D scanner utilizes 15 laser crosses that digitally capture the shape of any physical object.
