3D Surveying and Cultural Heritage

The learning of industrial design programs allows multiple applications in practice. For more than 15 years, one of the work lines of the Department of Graphical Engineering of the University of Seville is to deepen the 3D design by modelling and virtual recreation of all types of old industrial machinery, as well as aircraft, thus digitally recovering the industrial and aeronautical historical heritage. The objective is to achieve a final product starting from very scarce information such as sketches, photographs or a very limited number of plans. Thus, students need to study the industrial and historical situation of a specific period of time from which they must obtain all kind of information. Sometimes being in contact with museums is fundamental and in those cases where they work with post-industrial revolution mechanisms, it is an obligatory step to visit companies or retired professionals. They are invited to propose the machine or aircraft and to review the material and tools used in the selected era. The final products usually include photorealistic images or improvements. More than 60 projects have been submitted. Two of them are presented in this article: Sopwith triplane and Mil v-12 helicopter.
