Digitalization of Medieval Romanesque Church Portals in Serbia: From Underlying Geometry to the Reasemblable 3D-printed models

Researchers have successfully developed a novel method for analyzing and reconstructing medieval Romanesque church portals using 3D digitalization techniques, providing unprecedented insights into their underlying geometry and construction methods. By combining classical architectural documentation with advanced 3D modeling and printing, the study achieved accurate digital reconstructions of portals from Studenica and Decani monasteries in Serbia. These 3D-printed models allow for detailed examination of structural elements, revealing mutual correlations and their integration into wall thickness—a key innovation in cultural heritage education. This approach not only preserves historical data but also offers a tangible educational tool, enhancing understanding of medieval architectural techniques.
