Where Craft Meets Technology
Whether you’re preserving historically significant interiors or replicating exterior details, we help you capture the geometry, character, and craftsmanship of the original. Our work supports the restoration of historic buildings, the care of collections, and long term preservation plans.
At Kemperle Industries, we specialize in combining time-honored materials with advancements in conservation and digital fabrication. Our process is built to serve the needs of historic preservation professionals, architects, museums, and restoration contractors. From landmark theaters to privately held artifacts, we deliver high-resolution digital files, precise physical replicas, or both, tailored to your project’s requirements.
We work with:
- Architects & Preservation Firms
- Contractors & Installers
- Museums & Private Collectors
- Plaster & Ornamental Trades
- Municipal & Cultural Institutions
What We Do
We use non-contact, high resolution scanners to capture detailed geometry from fragile or immovable features. Our mobile scanners are ideal for both exterior and interior architectural details, providing a foundation for advancement in preservation without disturbing the original material.
We transform scans into clean, watertight digital models suitable for 3D printing, CNC milling, or archival uses. These files guide fabrication, preserve cultural heritage for future generations, and create a digital asset library for museums, architectural firms, and restoration teams.
Using plaster, wood, resin, and other materials, we fabricate accurate replacements for decorative or structural features. Our parts are crafted with attention to detail and designed to integrate seamlessly into ongoing building restoration efforts.
We partner with craftspeople, conservationists, and construction teams to blend modern tools with traditional restoration practices. Our goal is to increase speed and precision while protecting historical integrity, supporting both the conservation and restoration process from start to finish.
Minimal Disruption
Our mobile scanners allow us to capture details on-site. No need to remove fragile or embedded elements.
Accuracy You Can Trust
Whether you’re working with curved moldings or weathered surfaces, our scanning and modeling workflows capture geometry with fidelity and care.
Material Versatility
We work with plaster, wood, metal, and plastic to replicate features with precision and integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you scan directly on site?
Yes. We offer mobile 3D scanning services for architectural details and collections, allowing us to document fragile or immovable objects without risk of damage.
What if we only need digital files?
No problem. We can scan and deliver high-resolution digital assets suitable for archiving, design, or fabrication workflows.
Can you match original materials or finishes?
Yes. We work with a range of materials and collaborate with traditional craftspeople to ensure physical replicas integrate seamlessly into existing environments.
Why Digital Matters in Restoration
Traditional craftsmanship remains essential but digital tools make restoration more precise and more scalable. 3D scanning and modeling reduce guesswork, accelerate timelines, and protect heritage elements by minimizing physical contact.
Not Sure Where to Start?
You don’t need to have drawings or files to begin. We can scan what exists, assess your needs, and recommend a workflow that respects your budget and timeline. Reach out early—we’re happy to consult at any stage of the project.
