A team of scientists and researchers from the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage are working on several projects focusing on the preservation of 3D printed art materials. They partnered with engineer-turned-artist Tom Lomax for some interesting research: Lomax created a 3D printed piece of art that will be used for the sole purpose of scientific experimentation, so research can be done to determine how modern art can best be preserved for future generations to enjoy. The researchers subjected Lomax's 'Out of the Cauldron' to accelerated testing, and throughout the process, discovered many 3D printing technologies use materials that, unfortunately, break down quite quickly.
