Ancient monuments build by Mayans were scanned with the use of the3D scanning at Peabody museum by CMHI. This is an archaeological institution that is affiliated to Harvard University. In the 5 year 3D scanning project 30 monuments were scanned that included the hieroglyphic inscriptions. It also included hieroglyphic stairway located in the Honduras. Most of the scans of monuments were shared with different researchers across the globe. This helps in getting views of different people and makes them figure out importance of each of these inscriptions. The monuments are scanned in different sections that mainly depend on their size. The scans are then joined together in a computer with the help of measurement data so that all the pieces fit properly.

To improve the accuracy level every monument had been scanned minimum 4 times. Then 4 different resolutions are created out of these scans and used for several purposes. To import them easily for other projects they saved in several formats. The ones that have low resolution are good for online sharing and others are used through software like Google sketchup.

Several scans that are shared with only some archaeologist and not available for everyone have been in existence. These scans required more protection and could not be shared with all the researchers. 3D scanning makes it easy for the users to view even the minute scans easily and manipulate them from different angles. 3D scanning helped in understanding the Mayan civilization and helped in viewing even the weathered hieroglyphs.

The scientists combine 3D printing and 3D scanning so that exact models of all the monuments can be created. This includes both scaled down models and scaled up models of different monuments. These are very useful for exhibits and museums. This technology will help amateur archaeologists for discovering things that were missed in the past.

3D scanning service envisages scanning the lower part of the rower using a 3D laser scanner. Since the contours of the human body are very complicated, the best option is to use a hand held laser scanner. Using a hand held scanner ensures that scans of very high accuracy is obtained. The rower is scanned in a sitting position wearing webbing with point markers. The 3D scans were then fed into a CAD system to create a 3D digital image. Once the digital image is obtained, it is used to create the perfect fit outs for the canoes. Thus a perfectly customized kayaks with fit outs for a particular rower was created. The biggest advantage of the 3D scanning service is that an infinite number of fit outs can be created for any number of rowers.

The Olympics is the Mecca of all sporting events. Once every five years, the best athletes all over the world compete to bring glory to the sport and their country. Often athletes and sportsperson win and lose by the millionth of a second. When the competition is so keen, every measure which can increase the efficiency of the sportsperson counts. It is here that technology like the 3D scanning service plays a very important role in final results.
