But every step in the process is conditioned by different factors like the limitations of the technology hardware and software , limitations of access to every angle of the object, difficulties caused by the material, etc. How to complete areas that are missing or how to join data from different recordings are just two typical tasks that the digital artisan faces.
These operations are valid within a historical preservation context as long as the original raw files are archived safely and each step is properly documented, so it can be traced back.
While archiving unprocessed information is essential for documentation and research, 3D modeling operations are necessary for any physical or virtual output that requires a coherent result. This white relief surface, that contains every detail that was captured by digital recording, could be used to make a mould and then cast in a different material.
In the case of this facsimile it was finally decided to opt for a CNC-milled reproduction. The reason behind digitising the backboard is twofold. On one hand, the obtained data will be essential for understanding the historic trajectory of the Mappa Mundi. The digital documentation can be compared with that of the map itself and help historians and cartographers to establish new, unforeseen relationships. On the other hand, the 3D data of the backboard formed the base for the production of a physical facsimile to go alongside the reproduction of the map.
Both reproductions will be given to the Hereford Cathedral as a donation from the Factum Foundation.
