There are so many applications for additive manufacturing in the art and cultural heritage sector. We have covered them in our recent infographic about art and 3D printing, and also wrote a dedicated article about cultural heritage preservation. To learn more, we sought out the expertise of professionals who work in this field every day, creating adapted museum tools, reproductions of works, casts for restoration and more. Riccardo Bonina, CEO of Sicilian company Hi.Stories, told us about the benefits of using 3D printing for cultural heritage, how 3D technologies can make art and heritage more accessible.
3DN: Can you introduce yourself and tell us how you discovered 3D printing?
Riccardo Bonina
I am Riccardo Bonina, CEO of Hi.Stories, a company focused on applying 3D technologies to cultural heritage based in Catania, Italy. I and other Hi.Stories partners were curious about 3D printing, and drawn to the technology that, in our opinion, applied to the cultural heritage sector and has a social impact.
3DN: How did Hi.Stories come about, and what is its mission?
Hi.Stories was born in 2017, following participation in the Cultura Crea call for proposals, promoted by Invitalia within the PON Culture and Development ERDF 2014/2020 to foster the birth of cultural and creative enterprises. Our idea was to develop an activity to enhance cultural heritage through technology, leveraging its potential to create interactive enjoyment in cultural centers.
