Digitization of Ancient Artefacts and Fabrication of Sustainable 3D-Printed Replicas for Intended Use by Visitors with Disabilities: The Case of Piraeus Archaeological Museum

Antreas Kantaros,
Evangelos Soulis,
Elli Alysandratou

Abstract: The digitization of ancient artifacts and the fabrication of sustainable 3D-printed replicas present a promising solution for enhancing the accessibility to cultural heritage sites for visitors with disabilities. This article focuses on the case study of the Piraeus Archaeological Museum. The study investigates the process of digitizing a selection of ancient artifacts from the museum’s collection and utilizing 3D printing technology to produce tactile replicas from recycled Polylactic Acid (PLA) material that… Show more

“…Nevertheless, the potential afforded by 3D technology in special libraries is vast. According to Kantaros et al (2023), the utilisation of technology enables the development of visual models that have the potential to augment educational encounters for individuals. This includes the production of tactile and interactive exhibits specifically designed to cater to the requirements of users with special needs.…”
