Medieval Wax Seal Replica

We replicated several medieval wax seals from their inaccessible originals, ensuring the preservation of these artefacts for future generations.

The Brief

The client required 3D-printed replicas of medieval wax seals for an educational workshop. The original seals were carefully preserved in a cabinet and could not be touched.

What We Did

We recreated the wax seals using reference photographs provided by the client, carefully modelling them in CAD to ensure accuracy. Once the seals were modelled, we 3D printed them in various scales that would be useful for the workshop. Each seal was carefully hand-finished with a wax effect coating to closely resemble the originals.

Result

The 3D-printed seals were used in educational workshops, allowing participants to interact directly with these replica artefacts. This application of 3D printing showcased an innovative approach to preserving and engaging with historical artefacts.
