Do it once.
Do it right.

For digitization, we work with CRUSE scanners and mobile DOM systems. Regardless of the technology employed, all digital reproductions are created in true color and high resolution. Each file is carefully processed and prepared to ensure its suitability for a wide range of print and digital applications across diverse fields. Throughout every step, our focus remains on the authenticity of the original and the integrity of the restoration.

Our CRUSE scanner is designed for the highest-quality digitization of flat originals, whether smooth or textured. The entire process is fully contactless, ensuring that even the most sensitive materials are preserved with the utmost care.

For especially gentle digitization, we employ LED lighting with exceptional colour rendering quality, entirely free of harmful UV radiation. Individually adjustable light positions allow surface structures and textures to be captured with remarkable clarity and depth. Each original is scanned line by line at a precise 90-degree angle under uniform illumination, ensuring absolute accuracy across the entire surface.

Objects displayed behind glass can also be digitized directly without any difficulty. For slightly curved or bent originals, a vacuum table gently secures the material, allowing for optimal scanning results. The maximum scanning area measures 150 × 250 cm; larger objects can be captured in sections and seamlessly digitally stitched together. Image resolution can be customized between 150 and 1.600 dpi to meet your specific requirements.

The DOM, developed by recom, is a self-contained digitization system that employs a digital camera to capture images. Essentially, it functions as a portable miniature photo studio, suitable for both classic product photography and the reproduction of artworks such as paintings. Surfaces and objects are rendered with precise, lifelike accuracy. The system’s 75 individually controllable and dimmable LEDs allow for fully customizable lighting setups, providing a unique opportunity to capture the texture and character of each surface (see also D-DACE).

We have developed our own software for LED control, allowing the creation of tailored lighting setups for different objects and their storage in a database. This ensures both reproducibility and efficiency. The DOM is compact, can be positioned almost anywhere, and operated by a single person. Its enclosed design makes it independent of ambient light, providing greater flexibility in the workflow. An optional underlight combined with a cove — creating the illusion of an infinite background — together with commercially available software, enables automated object cropping, saving both time and resources. This also allows for the efficient digitization of larger groups of smaller originals. Like the CRUSE scanner, the DOM can implement our REFERENCE SCAN for precise color accuracy. The maximum scanning area is 70 × 100 cm, and image resolution is determined by the original and the camera lens used.
