可玩的羅馬遊戲複製品
紐卡素大學發佈3D打印遊戲棋盤
紐卡素大學（Newcastle University）與 Vindolanda Charitable Trust 合作，3D 掃描並打印出一副約 1,700 年歷史、可供實際遊玩的羅馬棋盤複製品。此原版五件式石製棋盤，為兩人策略遊戲 Ludus Latrunculorum（羅馬棋）而製作，於 2019 年在 Vindolanda 遺址出土。
研究人員使用手持式 Artec 3D Spider 掃描器，分別掃描每個棋子，生成完整數碼模型所需的詳盡位置數據。此棋盤其後以可生物降解的 PLA 材質複製而成，保留其幾何形狀及表面細節，同時讓原版文物得以繼續受到保護。相同的掃描檔案，亦用於製作一個互動式數碼模型，供訪客旋轉檢視。
此複製品，將留存於 Vindolanda 的羅馬軍事博物館，供公眾親手觸摸體驗，而原版文物，則出借予多倫多 Bata Shoe Museum 展出。透過將一件脆弱的考古文物，轉化為一件耐用的教學工具，此項目展示出 3D 掃描及積層製造技術，如何能擴大接觸觸感歷史的機會，並支持更沉浸式的博物館體驗。
英文原文
Newcastle University partnered with the Vindolanda Charitable Trust to 3D scan and print a playable replica of a roughly 1,700-year-old Roman game board. The original five-piece stone board was created for Ludus Latrunculorum, a two-player strategy game, and was excavated at Vindolanda in 2019.
Researchers scanned each piece separately using a handheld Artec 3D Spider scanner, generating detailed positional data for a complete digital model. The board was then reproduced in biodegradable PLA, preserving its geometry and surface details while allowing the original artifact to remain protected. The same scan files were also used to create an interactive digital model that visitors can rotate and examine.
The replica remains at Vindolanda’s Roman Army Museum for public handling while the original is on loan to Toronto’s Bata Shoe Museum. By transforming a fragile archaeological object into a durable teaching tool, the project demonstrates how 3D scanning and additive manufacturing can expand access to tactile history and support more immersive museum experiences.
