Google Arts & Culture turns to 3D Printed Vases

Google Arts & Culture is not just a platform to turn your selfie into a famous painting. It offers access to the world’s most famous art and tries to integrate historical art into our modern society. Google Arts & Culture has recently worked with an Indian museum to create 3D printed vases to become relics of the future.

The platform recently revealed a set of 10 ceramic 3D printed vases in an Indian museum in Mumbai (CSMVS). These 3D printed vases are to become part of the “Future Relics” project launched last November which aims to mix traditional crafting methods with modern technologies to create relics of the future.

This initiative echoes many recent projects in which 3D printing was used to better understand history. These include through paintings, sculptures, or even entire archaeological sites such as Palmyra’s arch. This was recreated using 3D printing after it was destroyed by ISIS, and is currently in London.
