Founded by renowned artist Nikola Vudrag, Vudrag Industries is dedicated to the craft of metal sculpture. Based in Croatia, Vudrag’s studio is a place where vision and traditional craftsmanship shape breathtaking metal artworks that make a lasting impression, both locally and internationally.
3D scanning as a part of everyday artistry
For Vudrag Industries, 3D scanning is more than a technical enhancement, it’s an essential part of the creative process. By integrating 3D scanning into the workflow, Nicola Vudrag can capture even the tiniest details of a sculpture, scale artworks and share digital versions of his artworks around the world. But most importantly, he can digitally preserve masterpieces for restoration and reinterpretation. Thanks to 3D scanning, he can monitor changes of the sculptures over time and take proactive measures to protect the cultural heritage for future generations. For him, 3D scanning is a gateway to new possibilities, enriching his artistic journey and every piece he creates.
ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 and ATOS Q
ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 and ATOS Q are the ideal solutions to support the vision of Nicola Vudrag vision of an interconnected and promising future. T-SCAN hawk 2, with its portability and accuracy, is perfect for scanning large artworks directly on-site, even in challenging environments. Meanwhile, ATOS Q delivers high-resolution scans of small artworks and provides the data for detailed digital models, vital for both quality control and creative exploration.
Inspiration and innovation
Nikola Vudrag finds inspiration from the world around him, especially nature and science. His sculptures represent our society’s values and current developments. He is committed to continues innovations and wants to inspire others by making art more accessible, sustainable, and future-proof.
For Vudrag, 3D scanning is a way to honor the past by ensuring that today’s creations can be appreciated, studied, and experienced far into the future – no matter the challenges of time, environment, or distance.
Using 3D scanning allows me to venture beyond the visible into the unseen world. It serves as a gateway for new possibilities of understanding, enabling us to explore, preserve, and present our world in new ways.
