Conservación y difusión de patrimonio cultural mediante la utilización del escaneo 3D, digitalización y prototipado rápido

Abstract

This research explores and describes the applicability of the techniques of 3D scanning, digitization, and rapid prototyping as useful tools for conservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage. Three different activities were executed with this purpose. The first one was to make a state of the art of the mentioned techniques. In the second one, the techniques were applied in four pieces of the Arqueological Museum “Casa del Marqués (MUSA)”. The last activity was to write a proposal including several potential applications of the techniques, based on the information obtained from the state of the art and from the results of the application of the techniques. Additionally, a methodology for application of the techniques and a nomenclature for the digital files was proposed.
