These properties are an important factor to consider when using 3D digitisation as museum artefacts cannot be sprayed with an opaque coating to avoid reflection and facilitate 3D scanning. In this paper we review a wide variety of materials and techniques in order to propose guidelines for the 3D digitisation of different materials.3D scanningmaterialsmuseum collectionsphotogrametrystructured lightcomputed tomography10.1109/DigitalHeritage.2015.7413827
