What’s On

3D printing can make heritage more accessible in many ways: Entire scaled down site models can be printed and used in education, replica artefacts can be touched without the fear of damaging the original, models of sites and artefacts can be printed on completely different continents to study them. Having models can also make the access more tangible: children and adults alike can handle them and play around with them and maybe even gain new insights. 

In this talk, Anne will give an introduction into 3D printing in general using the 3D printers at the Makers’ Space of the Mayfair Library. She will show some examples of how 3D printing can help engage with heritage.  

Anne-Karoline Distel is a heritage, tech and OpenData enthusiast who has given several talks during Heritage Week, the last two having been about a research project using 3D modelling and printing and an introduction into 3D scanning and printing.
