3D Scanning the Buddha Statues at Sung Phuc Pagoda – Preserving Truc Lam Heritage with 3D Technology

These days, 3D scanning isn’t just for industries, healthcare, or product design. It’s also becoming a powerful tool for cultural preservation. Recently, Scantech carried out a 3D digitization project at Sùng Phúc Pagoda in Long Bien, Hanoi — a historic temple of the Truc Lam Zen sect, rich in spiritual and cultural heritage.

Why digitize Buddha statues in 3D?

It’s more than just saving data — it unlocks real value:

  • Long-term preservation: Every intricate detail of the statues is captured, even if the originals fade over time.

  • Research & education: 3D data is readily available for scholars, researchers, and monks to study and learn.

  • Practical applications: From 3D printing and VR/AR experiences to online exhibitions and restoration projects.

  • Cultural connection: Younger generations get to experience Buddhist heritage in a more immersive, engaging way.

For this project, the Scantech team used the Artec Eva scanner, which made it possible to:

  • Capture fine details of faces, garments, and ornate patterns with speed and accuracy.

  • Process the data right on-site, ensuring high-quality 3D models.

  • Achieve millimeter-level precision — enough to fully convey the spirit and expressions of the Trúc Lâm Patriarch statues.
