Sensor-embedded 3D-printed repairs could help preserve ancient pottery
Koç University researchers have developed a conservation method that combines photogrammetry, digital modeling, 3D printing and embedded sensors to replace missing sections of archaeological amphorae. The customized fills can also monitor environmental and physical changes affecting the artifacts, offering a systematic approach to their conservation and long-term preservation.
