Toolkits

Sketchfab has a library of millions of 3D objects created and uploaded by users. Some objects have been created in 3D design software whilst others have been digitally scanned in 3D. Users include individuals sharing personal objects and large museums and heritage organisations sharing their archive. Objects can be explored on screen, or in Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality. You can even download objects and print on a 3D printer! Search for objects from the World Wars and share them to the WorldWars.eu community. Or you could 3D scan objects from your family, school, or local museum, add them to Sketchfab free of charge, then share on WorldWars.eu. Please see our other toolkits for how to 3D scan objects using your smartphone or tablet.
