Triceratops Skulls Herd

For Naturalis Biodiversity Center’s Triceratops herd, five individual Triceratops skulls were digitally reconstructed using advanced 3D modelling and reconstruction techniques. Working from scans of the original fossil material, missing and incomplete anatomy was reconstructed in 3D and precisely modelled to integrate with custom 3D-printed components. This digital-to-physical workflow enabled the printed reconstructions to fit seamlessly alongside the authentic fossils, resulting in five complete hybrid skulls that combine millions-year-old fossil material with contemporary 3D modelling and digital fabrication.

Human Skull Reconstruction

A human skull was 3D scanned and digitally processed to create an accurate physical replica for museum use. The original specimen was captured in high detail using 3D scanning, followed by digital preparation and optimisation of the resulting 3D model for fabrication. The final model was 3D printed as a full-scale replica, demonstrating a complete scan-to-production workflow for reproducing delicate objects without altering or damaging the original.

Statue of Hercules

A historic Hercules statue from Breda was 3D scanned and reproduced as a life-size 3D print for Holland Casino. High resolution 3D scanning captured the geometry and sculptural details of the original, creating a digital model that was prepared and optimised for large format 3D printing. The full-scale reproduction was subsequently assembled and finished for its final installation, demonstrating a complete workflow from 3D scanning and digital preparation to large scale 3D printing and product finishing.

Medici Lion Project

In collaboration with artist Siobhán Hapaska, the Medici Lion was produced as a large scale 3D printed sculpture for exhibition at Art Basel. The project translated the monumental sculptural form into a digitally fabricated work, using 3D printing to produce the complex geometry at scale. The finished piece demonstrates the potential of large format 3D printing for artists, sculptors and cultural projects, where digital fabrication becomes an integral part of producing exhibition scale artworks.

Dog Statue in Douglas Hyde Gallery

In collaboration with artist Siobhán Hapaska, an original sculpted dog was 3D scanned and reproduced through 3D printing for an artwork exhibited at the Douglas Hyde Gallery. The artist’s physical sculpture was digitally captured in high detail, creating a precise 3D model that could be prepared and optimised for fabrication. The resulting 3D-printed reproduction preserved the form and surface character of the original sculpture while enabling its integration into the final artwork, demonstrating how 3D scanning and 3D printing can support artists in translating handmade objects into digitally fabricated pieces.

Medici Lion Statue in Douglas Hyde Gallery

In collaboration with artist Siobhán Hapaska, the Medici Lion was 3D scanned, digitally prepared and reproduced as a monumental four meter long 3D printed sculpture for exhibition at the Douglas Hyde Gallery. The original form was captured through 3D scanning and the resulting model was processed and adapted for fabrication at a dramatically larger scale. The sculpture was then produced in multiple 3D printed sections for assembly into the final 4 meter work, demonstrating the use of 3D scanning, 3D modelling and large-scale 3D printing for complex sculptural and artistic projects.

Award Designs for Advario

A custom 3D award was designed and developed for Advario, translating the company’s visual identity into a distinctive sculptural object. The design was developed specifically for additive manufacturing, combining the flowing geometry of the trophy with an integrated base, branding and award details. The final awards were 3D printed and produced as physical pieces, demonstrating a complete workflow from product design and 3D modelling to 3D printing and production.

3D Scanning Diplodocus Bones

In collaboration with Oertijdmuseum Boxtel, an entire Diplodocus specimen comprising more than 150 individual fossil bones was digitally captured using high-resolution 3D scanning. Each bone was carefully scanned to create an accurate digital record of the specimen, resulting in a comprehensive 3D dataset suitable for scientific study, documentation and digital reconstruction. The project was particularly significant due to the scientific importance of the specimen, which was being studied in connection with its proposed status as a holotype. The project demonstrates the use of 3D scanning for paleontology, museums and the digital preservation of complex fossil collections.

Reconstruction of Skull 21

In collaboration with TU Delft Science Centre, the historic Triceratops skull known as Skull 21 was fully digitally reconstructed using 3D scanning and 3D modelling. The fossil material was digitally captured and incomplete and missing anatomical elements were reconstructed to create a complete 3D model of the skull. The reconstructed components were subsequently 3D printed and integrated with the fossil material for exhibition. Skull 21 holds a special place in Dutch paleontological history as part of the first dinosaur fossil to be brought to the Netherlands, making the project a combination of digital reconstruction, scientific heritage and advanced 3D fabrication.

3D Modelling Triceratops Bones

In collaboration with Naturalis Biodiversity Center, selected bones of Dirk the Triceratops were digitally reconstructed and modelled as part of the preparation of the complete skeleton. Working with the available fossil geometry, missing and incomplete elements were recreated in 3D to complement the original material and contribute to an anatomically coherent reconstruction. The project demonstrates the use of specialised 3D modelling and digital reconstruction for paleontology, natural history collections and museum exhibitions.

Carbon Fiber Wound Bench

In collaboration with Atelier Robotique, a bespoke carbon-fibre bench was computationally designed and fabricated using robotic filament winding. The geometry and winding strategy were developed to enable the form to be produced from a continuous carbon-fibre filament, translating the digital design directly into a lightweight physical structure. The project explores the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication and advanced composite manufacturing, demonstrating how custom geometries can be produced through digitally controlled fibre placement.

Carbon Fiber Wound Table

A bespoke carbon-fibre table was designed and fabricated using filament winding, creating a lightweight structure from approximately 1.5 kilometres of continuous carbon-fibre filament. The geometry and winding pattern were developed together so that the material itself forms both the structure and the distinctive visual character of the table. Despite its size, the finished piece weighs only 7 kg, demonstrating how computational design, fabrication and composite materials can be combined to create lightweight, structurally efficient furniture with highly customised geometries.
