About The Customer
The Nordic Museum is a prestigious institution in Sweden, housing a vast collection of historical artifacts and exhibits. The museum building itself is a historic monument, featuring towers and pinnacles, sculptures and reliefs, spiers and high gables. The museum's Director of Properties, Kennet Blixt, oversees the maintenance and preservation of this historic building. However, the museum lacked the necessary resources and tools to manage its drawing archive, which was crucial for the building's preservation. The museum's need for accurate digital models and drawings was met by SWG's 3D laser scanning service.
The Challenge
Sweden's prestigious Nordic Museum faced a significant challenge in managing and preserving its historic building. The museum lacked the internal resources to manage its drawing archive, which was crucial for the maintenance and repair of the building. The museum also lacked the necessary tools to easily search, read, measure, and comment on the drawings of their historic buildings. The absence of accurate digital models and drawings posed a significant risk to the preservation of the building. The catastrophic fire in Notre Dame in 2019 highlighted the importance of having updated and readily available building information, which the Nordic Museum lacked.
The Solution
SWG, with the support of reality capture technology, developed a digital twin of the Nordic Museum building. This digital twin comprised a complete 3D model with accurate interior and exterior measurements, in addition to related documents for remodelling and repairs. This solution ensured that the prestigious building, with its towers and pinnacles, sculptures and reliefs, spiers and high gables, was documented digitally and could be preserved. The 3D laser scanning service supplied by SWG provided the museum with accurate digital models and drawings, which they previously lacked. This solution improved the quality of the museum's building data and provided a strong basis for future maintenance and repairs.
