Dear all, *Apologies for cross posting* Last chance to get tickets! The Digital Preservation Coalition and Wellcome Library have come together to bring you the one-day conference: 3D4ever: building three dimensional models to last Friday 9th December 2016. 09.15-17.00, Wellcome Collection Conference Centre, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE This conference will encourage cultural heritage professionals to understand and undertake 3D scanning and its challenges. Opportunities for creation, use, and re-use of 3D data will be explored and case studies of good practice presented. The day will consist of a programme of presentations, practical workshops and a panel discussion. Programme 09.15-9.45 TEA AND COFFEE 09.45-09.50 William Kilbride (DPC) / Melanie Grant (Wellcome) Introduction and welcome 09.50-10.20 Stuart Jeffrey (Glasgow School of Art) 3d data for ever (or till whatever is next) 10.20-10.45 Brief Q&A, orientation 10.45-11.15 William Kilbride (DPC) Why is it so hard to get people to talk about preserving 3d data? 10.45-12.45 Workshops 1-3* 11.15-11.45 Helen Hardy (Natural History Museum) A new life for natural history specimens 11.45-12.15 Anthony Corns (Discovery Programme) 3D-ICONS Ireland: Experiences of Archiving and Reuse 12.15-12.45 Discussion 12.45-13.30 LUNCH (served in the Williams Lounge) 13.30-14.00 Uwe Helber (T Systems International) A preservation voice in the technical wilderness 13.30-15.30 Workshops 1-3* 14.00-14.30 Chris Moran (Wellcome): IPR what we have learned at Wellcome and what we need to learn 14.30-15.00 Case study 15.00-15.30 What is to be done?

They will have watched a demo of the photographic process (using a turntable and light tent) and will leave the workshop with a comprehensive guide outlining the process covered in the workshop. *Workshop 3: Computer Aided Design and 3D Print Preparation At the end of the workshop the participants will have learnt the basic principles of creating a 3D Design from scratch. They will also learn how to prepare their design for 3D printing and how manipulate external data for 3D printing. Utilising SpaceClaim software the most intuitive CAD package on the market, participants will be impressed at how quickly they can get to grips with 3D Design. *Also featuring* Demonstrations Helen Green & Matt Arneil: Alchemy VR http://www.alchemyvr.com/ UCL's 3D Box Trevor King (Zeutschel UK Ltd): ZED 10 presentation system Cadventure: 3D modelling and printing Further details and booking information here: https://wellcomecollection.org/3d4ever #3D4ever16 Kind regards, Nicola (on behalf of the organising committee) Wellcome exists to improve health for everyone by helping great ideas to thrive.
