3D Scanning for Film & VFX in Istanbul: Local Expertise

Istanbul — a 16-million-resident megacity straddling Europe and Asia — is experiencing a construction boom with 7.4% sector growth in Q1 2025, driven by the Istanbul Canal mega-project, Istanbul Airport expansion (€135 million Deutsche Post operations center), and €500 million hospital reconstruction for earthquake resilience. The city's extraordinary heritage spanning Byzantine (Hagia Sophia), Ottoman (Topkapi Palace), and modern architecture, combined with Turkey's post-earthquake reconstruction of 870,000 housing units, creates massive demand for 3D scanning services.
