“…Alfio et al (Alfio et al, 2022) studied the structural stability of a bronze statue using a Scan to FEM approach. Finally, articles focussing on providing secondary or supporting structures for fragmentary objects (Barbieri et al, 2022;Betti and Ferucci, 2022;Raco, 2023) often employ similar digital modelling strategies and are therefore beneficial during the Virtual reconstruction Phase.…”

Emerging technologies offer many advantages for cultural heritage preservation, and as such, 3D technologies can also be considered a new tool in the conservator-restorer’s toolbox. 3D scanning and printing are particularly useful for reconstructing missing parts on cultural heritage objects. However, the application of these innovative methods and materials is difficult for inexperienced users such as emerging, academic and professional restorers. The aim of this research is to make 3D technologies more comprehensible, by bridging the gap between the restorers’ expertise and 3D specialists, and to make them more applicable to the restoration practice, by aligning 3D technologies to the needs of restoration theory and practice. The research has enabled the construction of a digital toolbox, containing relevant information and previous case studies to guide the target audience in the generation of knowledge on the applied and suitable use of 3D technologies for loss compensation of missing parts. This toolbox consists out of three tools and is presented online on www.3drestorationtoolbox.com: the first tool, the Mind maps for decision-making, lay out the documented pros and cons of using 3D technologies, the second tool is an Overview of possibilities, which guides the restorer in a 3D restoration workflow that combines traditional, digital, and hybrid restoration methodologies, and the third tool is an Inventory of cases of the cases consulted in the other tools. This dissertation and the 3D Restoration Toolbox are as such presented as a contribution to the integrated implementation of 3D technologies in the restoration practice.

Nowadays, many museums publish virtual versions of the artifacts they keep in their collections in different 3D model viewers available on the Internet. However, despite the wide experience that some of them have in this field, it is still possible to find many virtual models that do not meet the desirable requirements for their publication on the Internet, especially regarding the optimization of the mesh and color textures needed for greater efficiency in the visualization and downloading of 3D objects. In this study, a sample of virtual models of objects belonging to multiple archaeological museums from different countries is analyzed. We considered multiple characteristics of the models, such as the number of polygons that compose them, the quality of the meshes, filter effects applied during post-processing, etc. The results of this research indicate that it is still necessary to make a greater effort to improve the training and digital skills of the professionals in charge of the digitization process in this area of cultural heritage.
