Techniques for creating and printing historical architectural artifacts in 3D

Abstract

The authors outline a technique for creating and printing three-dimensional models that can be used for graphic reconstruction of old architectural objects. An illustration of the sequence of implementation of the methodology is the creation of a model of the Parochial Cathedral of St. Mary. To reveal the implementation of the methodology, the authors demonstrate the sequence of execution of the stages of architecturalspatial modeling: analysis, construction, design, printing of the model. The analytical stage of designing the model of the cathedral was carried out on the basis of archival photographs and drawings. A stereogram miniature of the destroyed cathedral was used to create a three-dimensional model. Measurement of image parallax serves as the basis for reconstruction of the configuration of a spatial object. The stages of project implementation are defined. The methods of modeling using 3DS Max tools and preparing the model for 3D printing in Cura are presented.
