From True 3D Digitization to Ready-to-Use Experiences: How Verus + RapidPipeline Automate the Entire 3D Workflow

At the 3D Pipeline Workshops @ SIGGRAPH 2025, we featured Verus Digital, a company redefining how museums and institutions digitize, preserve, and share their collections.

Verus Digital is a spinoff of the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research, specializing in autonomous, high-precision 3D digitization systems designed to capture real-world objects with scientific accuracy and full surface coverage. Their technology is used in cultural heritage, research, police and forensics, anywhere precision truly matters.

Verus Digital develops autonomous 3D scanning systems that capture objects with remarkable fidelity, from micro-scratches to deep occlusions, delivering scans that are consistent, precise, and museum-grade.
Their philosophy is simple: digitize once, and make the resulting 3D data usable everywhere.

Museums and institutions rely on Verus to preserve collections in exact digital form, create accurate physical replicas, support research documentation, and share artifacts online through engaging 3D experiences.
But to unlock the full value of this data, high-quality digitization must be paired with a fast, scalable optimization workflow.

While Verus Digital excels at producing scientifically accurate 3D captures, preparing these complex models for various platforms (web, mobile, AR/VR, 3D printing) traditionally required manual retopology, mesh reduction, texture baking, multiple tools, and deep technical expertise.

For institutions digitizing large collections, this made post-processing slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.

To remove these bottlenecks, Verus integrated RapidPipeline directly into their end-to-end digitization workflow.
RapidPipeline automates the entire post-processing stage, delivering lightweight, high-quality, platform-ready models instantly.

Together, this unified workflow now delivers:

• Scientifically accurate 3D models optimized for real-time use
• Print-ready files suitable for high-fidelity replicas
• Web, AR/VR, and mobile-ready assets with drastically reduced file sizes
• Instant exports to GLB, USDZ, and museum catalogue formats

What once required multiple tools and days of manual effort now happens automatically, with consistent, scalable results, unlocking the ability to publish entire collections online in hours, not months.

Verus Digital envisions a future where digital collections are captured autonomously, optimized instantly, and deployed across platforms with minimal effort.
With RapidPipeline powering their automated post-processing, this future is already taking shape, offering museums and institutions a scalable way to preserve and share cultural heritage for generations to come.
