Digital Preservation of Gothic Choir Stalls through a Photogrammetry and CNC-Based Approach

This paper investigates the method of utilizing CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology to create three-dimensional models from photogrammetric images of selected Gothic choir stall components. Due to its ability to provide thorough recording of historical items and architecture, photogrammetry has emerged as a crucial instrument in the study and preservation of cultural heritage. This paper describes the procedure for collecting photogrammetric data in Gothic choir stalls, creating 3D models, and then producing those models using a CNC machine. This interdisciplinary approach discusses the benefits and drawbacks of combining digital technology with traditional craftsmanship. It also presents instances of real-world applications in the conservation and distribution of Gothic art.
