Aperture Card Scanning

Graphic Sciences can scan aperture cards and create digital images from them. The cards are scanned using a high quality Wicks and Wilson machine, which turns the microfilmed drawing into a bitmap or raster image file. Then, all the benefits available to you are:

• Get faster retrievals
• Improve revision cycles
• Edit electronically
• Transform drawings into precise, complete & intelligent CAD models
• Save expensive space by eliminating drawing cabinets – typically 2.500 drawings (24”x26”) can be stored on just one CD
• Combine drawing with document scans to get a complete electronic record for applications such as Building Files and Planning

Scanned information can be supplied in many formats including:

• TIFF – the most standard raster format
• PDF – a simple raster scan or can include OCR information that can be cut and pasted to other applications
• GIF – generally used for Internet applications
• JPEG – for color images
