Using a handheld digital 3D scanner, we captured a highly accurate surface record of the ornate surfaces across both the overmantels and fire surrounds. The captured data is scale accurate and records both the fine surface detail and overall dimensions.

The scaning process uses projected light to detect detailed 3D form and is entirely non-contact, making it an excellent choice for documenting easily damaged or high value surfaces.

As well as capturing the 3D form to facilitate reproduction, the scanning process is very suited to making a digital copy to serve as an insurance measure against future damage or loss.
It also serves as an excellent conservation assessment, recording all aspects of surface contition, which can be compared to future scans, charting rates of deterioration.

This data capture enables us to produce highly accurate digital 3D models, creating a digital copy of the entire structure.
By editing and remodelling this 3D model, we are able to repair damage and reinstate lost sections.
From this digital master file, we are able to drive CNC cutting of the ornate forms as well as making scale accurate drawings and 3D printed reference models.

Alongside the scanning process, we also performed a thorough inspection and documentation of the chimney pieces. In doing so, we gain a thorough understanding of the original assembly of parts to ensure every detail can be faithfully recreated as per the original. It also enabled us to note areas of damage to be repaired in our scan data.

With scanning complete, we thoroughly photographed both chimney pieces, creating a visual record of all aspects of the structure and surface. This then served as a resource in the hand carving and joinery stages of the project.

As part of our photographic documentation, we captured colour accurate data of all areas of the marble fire surround.
This ensured a fully authentic colour match is achieved when creating the new chimney pieces.
This colour information was used to create full sized photographic prints of the different types of marble. A highly skilled team of marblers then ised this reference to create stunningly accurate marble paint effects for the two fire surrounds.

Using handheld 3D scanning at Benham Park was a transformative process that enabled an otherwise unviable project. With only a day and a half of access to the original chimneypieces, this fast and portable process captured an incredible volume of data that facilitated remarkably accurate reproduction.

Digital 3D Scanning, Benham Park.

Our work for Stowe House has included the creation of two highly detailed chimney pieces for their State Dining Room. The chimney pieces are exact recreations of the originals which now reside at Benham Park.

The Henry Flitcroft designed chimney pieces are highly ornate, with exceptionally detailed carvings on the overmantels. In order to recreate the highly detailed surface, we worked across two days at Benham Park, scanning and measuring the original chimney pieces.

This digital record formed the heart of our process, enabling us to create copies of the chimney pieces with unparallelled accuracy.
