The research was carried out in accordance with the decision No. 5/2020 of the Committee for
Ethics of Scientific Research of the Lublin Univer- sity of Technology of July 15, 2020 on the research
project: Research on the usability of the created 3D museum exhibits for kinesthetic cognition.
This article has been supported by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange under
Grant No. PPI/APM/2019/1/00004 titled “3D Digital Silk Road”. This article is also related to the imple-
mentation of the project called “Universal De- sign at the Lublin University of Technology”
(POWR.03.05.00–00-PU32/19–00) under the Operational Program Knowledge Education Development 2014–2020.
Counteracting the social and educational exclusion of visually impaired people is an important issue in the area
of knowledge transfer, also in the area of cultural heritage. Visually impaired people get to know the world in an
organoleptic way, where the leading cognitive factor is touch. This type of cognitive method cannot be used in
museology and historical architecture. Current attempts to solve this problem lead to the use of additive technology
understood as 3D printing. The paper presents a modified procedure for obtaining digital 3D models with the use
of Autodesk Inventor version 2021, dedicated to creating scalable replicas of architectural objects using additive
technology. The applied procedure uses the decomposition of the object into its components and the acquisi-
tion of data from terrestrial 3D laser scanning (FARO Focus 3D scanner, Faro Scene software). Printing in the
Fused Filament Fabrication technology of a designed minaret representing the architecture of the Timuridian
period (minaret of the Ulugh Beg Madrasa in Samarkand, Uzbekistan), originating from the Silk Road area,
was carried out due to the size of the facility, divided into several parts. The obtained replica of the minaret was
presented to people with simulated pattern dysfunction and a blind person and tested in a pilot test. The obtained
results confirmed that the decomposition of the object for the purposes of 3D modelling, the diversified scaling
of individual elements to make real 3D replicas of the digital model facilitated the kinesthetic recognition of the
relevant architectural object for the respondents.
