China's Forbidden City took some 15 years to construct and served both as China’s political center and home to its emperors from the palace's completion in 1420 to the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. Some six-hundred years after being finished, it seems that it is in need of repair, but instead of hiring stone masons and carpenters to do the job, China’s Palace Museum has contracted Loughborough University in the UK to restore select antiquities in the Forbidden City using 3D printing.
Here's a
link to the article at 3D Printer Hub that talks about the work.
