Google Arts and Culture implements Stratasys full colour 3D printing technology to reconstruct historical artefacts

Google Arts and Culture are leveraging Stratasys J750 full colour 3D printing system to reconstruct a host of historical monuments through its Open Heritage Project. The purpose of the implementation of 3D printing is to enable historians re-create artefacts digitally and physically, raising awareness and accessibility of historical articles. It also allows the pieces to be more effectively preserved and shared, with files available for download around the world.
One of the major initiatives for Google Arts and Culture is the restoration of rare plaster casts initially discovered by A.P. Maudslay in Guatemala during the 1800s. These relics were housed across storage facilities in the British Museum for more than 100 years. But by teaming 3D laser scanning technology with Stratasys J750 3D printing system, which can print in half a million different colours, each artefact was able to be physically reconstructed in detail.
