3D scanning public statues, people, and objects.. one scan at a time

I am Karl Paul, also known as 3D Scanner Man, and I specialise in real-world 3D scanning. My focus is on scanning public statues, cultural landmarks, people, and everyday objects, turning physical subjects into accurate digital models for preservation, creativity, and 3D printing.

My mission is simple.. make 3D scanning approachable, practical, and genuinely useful. Everything shared here comes from hands-on experience in real environments, not controlled labs or marketing demos. What you see is what actually works out in the real world.

I regularly scan stone statues, metal sculptures, people, pets, and detailed objects using modern 3D scanners such as the Creality CR-Scan Otter. All results, tutorials, and reviews are based on real scans, real locations, and real conditions.

This website documents my ongoing work scanning statues across the UK, with a strong focus on digital cultural preservation. Alongside that, I share tips, problem-solving guides, and practical advice to help others bring physical objects into the digital world for 3D printing, archiving, and creative projects.

3D scanning does not need to be complicated. With the right approach, it becomes an enjoyable way to capture history, creativity, and personal memories in 3D.

If you are interested in 3D scanning statues, learning how scanners perform in real conditions, or bringing physical objects to life digitally, you are in the right place.
