Architectural Drawing Scanning
Architectural drawings can include plans, elevations, sections, details, tracing paper and coloured presentation drawings.
The capture method should accommodate the drawing size and the fragility of materials such as tracing paper. Large sheets often benefit from specialist wide-format or camera capture.
Architectural drawing 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.
