When 3D printing is combined with laser machining techniques, the results are amazing. It\u2019s a great way to recreate objects and structures of the ancient world, bringing them to life for the wider public to see.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the arch, there will be exhibitions and workshops to explore the importance of these artefacts and what they mean to people and society.<\/p>\n<p>View the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.london.gov.uk\/events\/2016-04-20\/palmyras-triumphal-arch\">news item<\/a><\/p>\n<p>View a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-36070721\">BBC news article<\/a> on the unveiling<\/p>\n<p>View a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LDN_pressoffice\/status\/722418806396731392\">short video<\/a> of the unveiling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A temporary structure was on display in Trafalgar Square in London for World Heritage Week which formed a 3D printed scan of Palmyra&#8217;s Arch of Triumph.\u00a0 The Mayor of London Press Office writes: Come to see a reproduction of Palmyra\u2019s &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=12617\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12618,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12617\/revisions\/12618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
