Abstract
The invention relates to a method for making a three-dimensional reproduction of a relief surface, which method comprises the following steps: scanning the surface at least twice by means of a scanner to be connected to a computer, the first scan being carried out under different conditions than the second scan, comparing the scans with each other by means of the computer in order to obtain a digital three-dimensional image of the surface relief, forming a mould by means of a processing machine on the basis of said digital three-dimensional image of the surface relief, making the three-dimensional reproduction of the surface by means of said mould.

A method for making a three-dimensional reproduction of a relief surface, which method comprises the following steps:
- scanning the surface at least twice by means of a scanner to be connected to a computer, the first scan being carried out under different conditions than the second scan, comparing the scans with each other by means of the computer in order to obtain a digital three-dimensional image of the surface relief, forming a mould by means of a processing machine on the basis of said digital three-dimensional image of the surface relief, making the three-dimensional reproduction of the surface by means of said mould.
A system for making a three-dimensional reproduction of a relief surface, which system comprises:
- a scanner to be connected to a computer for scanning the surface, as well as at least one light source, wherein a digital three-dimensional image of the surface relief can be obtained by means of at least two scans carried out under different conditions, a processing machine to be connected to the computer, by means of which a mould can be formed on the basis of a digital three-dimensional image of the surface relief, by means of which mould the three-dimensional reproduction of the surface can be made.
