Textile Artwork Digitisation
Flat textiles, embroidery, fabric artwork and other textile pieces can require non-contact photographic capture rather than conventional scanning.
Texture, depth, fibres and surface irregularity can make contact scanning unsuitable. Camera capture allows the object to remain supported without pressing it against a glass surface.
Textile artwork digitisation
The capture method should be selected around the original object, its condition and the purpose of the digital master. Suitable material may be captured with a WideTEK 36 ART, reprographic camera system or flatbed solution, while delicate, oversized or surface-sensitive work may require a non-contact approach.
