“…Other literature works also present the important topic of the need for accessibility of art and archaeology museums, like the published work of Alonso Tak and Pazos-Lopez under the title "Socializing Art Museums. Rethinking the Publics' Experience" [50][51][52][53]. As future work, in accordance with all the aforementioned data presented in this manuscript, the authors' team's intention is to also conduct a small-scale survey regarding the impact of this initiative on the greater experience that such visitors will enjoy during their Museum visit.…”

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 provide a multisensory experience for individuals with disabilities like vision impairment. The research examines the technical challenges and considerations faced by the authors’ team during the 3D scanning process of the artifacts, the manufacturing of raw material from 3D printing waste, as well as the optimization of 3D printing parameters to ensure the creation of high-quality 3D-printed replicas. Furthermore, the article points out the positive future impact that the 3D-printed replicas will have on the engagement and comprehension of vision-impaired visitors, highlighting the potential of this approach in promoting inclusivity and fostering a connection with cultural heritage.
