Deliberate changes in the lighting situation allow us to record the texture found in an Erin Hanson originals, providing the necessary information to our printer to create 3D Textured Replicas. State-of-the-art technology offers capture at 15,000 pixels, at 5.6 microns. The scanning process is completed using several scans taken at resolutions up to 2,000 dpi. Additionally, it is set up so that original paintings can be gently laid, face-up, to be scanned under five directions of temperature-controlled, precise, and homogeneous LED lamps. The enormous bulk of this machine is not surprising, as it has to accommodate Erin’s paintings - no matter the size of the work. This machine now dominates an entire room in our warehouse. This is done with the latest in 3D-capture technology: the CRUSE Synchron Table Scanner.


When a painting is selected for 3D printing, it must go through a safe and effective scanning process to capture every minute detail - from the painterly brush strokes to the luminous colors. The Newest Addition to The Erin Hanson Team: Our CRUSE Synchron Table Scanner While previous articles have discussed the replicas themselves, we wanted to take this opportunity to share the technical details of Erin’s state-of-the-art reproductions. Each replica faithfully duplicates every brush stroke's color and feel, using cutting-edge, three-dimensional scanning technology and multi-layered printing to capture every aspect of the original painting. This incredible fine art print is Erin’s high-tech answer to the growing demand for textured prints. We are very proud our Scanner is a part of the workflow used to make such realistic reproductions of her amazing paintings." - Martin Paffrath, Cruse Scanners, Germany. When we first had contact with Erin Hanson in March of this year, none of us would have thought that she would become a pioneer in printing 3D art reproduction in this short time. "While the whole world is talking about the possibilities that the latest 3D technology offers, there is one artist in San Diego who is already doing it. Erin Hanson has entered the world of 3D art reproduction with her newest product: Limited Edition 3D Textured Replicas.
