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 later this year, focused on using 3D modelling and 3D printing technologies for historical research. 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 two live Zoom sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, 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. 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.
