Abstract

The main objective of the work presented here has been to develop an appropriate approach for making a reproduction of a hominid skull, specifically of Homo naledi, the original of which was discovered at the Rising Star cave site (South Africa), and is on display at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (South Africa) where it is kept for research. The fragility of the skull made it impossible to carry out a direct molding process on it and, for this reason, digitization and 3D printing techniques have been applied and a second phase that involved carrying out a traditional molding on the impression. The copy of this piece is currently part of the permanent exhibition of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid. He highlights the importance that 3D techniques present for the field of research, dissemination and conservation of cultural heritage.

3D技术在博物馆复制品中的应用:来自MNCN的Homo naledi头骨

这里介绍的工作的主要目的是开发一种适当的方法来复制人类头骨，特别是纳勒迪人，其原件是在新星洞穴遗址(南非)发现的，并在约翰内斯堡(南非)的威特沃特斯兰德大学展出，供研究使用。头骨的脆弱性使得无法对其进行直接成型工艺，因此，数字化和3D打印技术已经应用，第二阶段涉及对印象进行传统成型。这件作品的复制品目前是马德里国家自然科学博物馆永久展览的一部分。他强调了3D技术在文化遗产研究、传播和保护领域的重要性。

期刊介绍： Conservar Património is a journal, published three times a year, that intends to create a space for the diffusion of conservator-restorers’ studies and activities. However, at a time when Conservation-Restoration pretends to develop further through collaboration with other areas of knowledge, such as History of Art, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other related disciplines from the fields of the natural and social sciences, the journal also receives contributions from any other provenance as long as directed towards the multiple dimensions of the works that integrate our Cultural Heritage. Theoretical issues on the conservation activity may also be submitted.
