Project Title 

Digitally fabricated 3D artefacts: their properties and dynamics in cultural heritage experiences for different audience groups. 

Background & Summary of Project

The aim of the research is to investigate the design, production and introduction of 3D digitally fabricated replicas of artefacts in cultural heritage experiences to address expectations and needs of distinctive audience groups.
The cultural heritage sector has been used over the last few decades as a test field for 3D technologies, such as 3d imaging and 3d printing. Until recently, the main focus of researchers and professionals has been on developing more accurate and effective techniques and to serve processes related to the documentation, preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. This project emphasises the communication aspect of cultural heritage management by investigating how the attributes of digitally fabricated artefacts work within experiential frameworks, how these physical representations are perceived by audiences and how museum professionals, educators and designers can manipulate them to effectively communicate cultural heritage information
