We have publicly released the digitally recreated Syrian cultural heritage site destroyed by ISIS, the Arch of Triumph, into the public domain.
To celebrate the release we are holding a global 3d Printing Sprint, shared online, and exhibited in Taipei on January 23rd.
Join the effort, and help us share and preserve endangered cultural heritage.
