On June 29th, 2026, VAR Lab post publicly their 3D Scan models from the Liberty Bell 3D Scanning project that took place in Philadelphia.

 

As a reply to VAR Lab’s original post, Penn State Behrend: Office of Community & Workforce Programs reposted it saying:

“A great example of how technology can help preserve and share history.
Congratulations to the Penn State Erie, The Behrend College VAR Lab (The Emerging Technologies Hub) on creating a 3D digital twin of the Liberty Bell. This project demonstrates how advanced technology can make an important piece of American history more accessible for education, research, and future generations.

As we celebrate America 250, it’s exciting to see innovation being used in meaningful ways.”
