【 摘 要 】

In recent years, 3D printing technologies have had a considerable impact on the field of conservation and restoration of cultural heritage. Professionals in this sector have been provided with exploratory tools for documenting, analyzing, intervening, and preserving objects and works of art that make up our history. This research focuses on finding the most suitable material along with the ideal printing position that could provide molds for the production of anatomical wax facsimiles that guarantee maximum quality and fidelity when compared to its original. These replicas and fragments allow conservator-restorers to volumetrically reintegrate while testing different options before applying direct treatment to the works. The results obtained from testing on different types of printing materials as well as the positives achieved from them are presented.
