3D Simulation in the Restoration of Historical and Cultural Values

The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of 3D modeling tools in the tasks of computer reconstruction of historical and cultural heritage sites. Creating 3D models of historical heritage elements and developing software for 3D printers. Modern memorials, places where historical and cultural values are preserved, have remained the least involved in global digitization. Therefore, the digitization of cultural heritage is an urgent problem today, because with the help of digital technologies you can not only create electronic copies of existing museum values, but also create a three-dimensional model of lost historical and cultural values.The research methods are a set of methods and technologies of 3D modeling, their capabilities and their application to solve problems of building a virtual reconstruction of historical and cultural heritage. Use 3D modeling technology to actually reconstruct historical and cultural monuments, such as archeological finds, and to create digital copies of museum exhibits.The novelty of the study is the use of modern computer technology to restore historical or cultural heritage that has been lost or partially lost. The processes of urbanization cover the traditional cultural space, actualizing the problem of preserving the historical and cultural heritage and national and cultural identity. Architectural complexes of the city, noble and land estates, temples and monasteries are being reconstructed; often historical and cultural heritage sites disappear in whole or in part due to the government’s military policy. Some archeological sites or museums also need restoration, and computer simulations may be the best solution.Conclusions. Using 3D modeling you can get a three-dimensional model and then provide software to reconstruct damaged objects or reproduce their lost parts. Three-dimensional mathematical models are included in the digital archive of historical heritage and are available for further publication from anywhere in the world. On the basis of the created 3D-models it is possible to print 3D-copies of works of art, museum exhibitions. This approach to the preservation of historical and cultural heritage opens new perspectives for the preservation of existing museum values and the reproduction of lost cultural heritage.
