Abstract
Additive manufacturing has been used in art restoration and conservation. Advantages include no direct contact and preserving fragile and rare objects. Long-term stability and aesthetics emphasize materials research. We curate examples highlighting 3D printing and materials in art conservation and creation. This prospective also connects materials choices, 3D digital technologies, and artificial intelligence. An increasing number of modern art pieces are now produced by 3D printing and are in many operations in museums worldwide. Whether creating modern or restoring classical art, a general protocol is now introduced, including future prospective and directions in the field.
