Hi all,
The Digital Humanities Research Hub at the University of London is pleased to announce a pair of short courses we will be running, focused on using 3D modelling and 3D printing technologies for historical research & cultural heritage. Both
courses cover the same material, with one being offered fully online and the other offered in-person.
3D Modelling & 3D Printing for Historical Research
Cost: £50 standard / £25 unwaged or unfunded
Tutors: Gabriel Bodard & Michael Donnay (University of London)
Do you want to learn how to build digital reconstructions of historical buildings, monuments or archeological sites? Are you interested in how 3D printing can be useful for cultural heritage?
In this short workshop, we will introduce you to Sketchup, an easy-to-use tool for building architectural or other models. Through a mix of online videos to watch in advance and synchronous time with the instructors, we will practise
reconstructing a ruined building from Pompeii, following the archaeological reports, dimensions and drawings. We will also discuss the connection between 3D modelling and printing, and walk through the steps to 3D print a model from Sketchup.
You will have the opportunity to apply these skills to your own research interest or project, and receive feedback from the tutors in the live sessions.
