In recent times, 3D acquisition by laser scanning or digital photogrammetry has become one of the standard methods of documenting cultural heritage, because it permits one to analyze the shape, geometry, and location of any artifact without necessarily coming into contact with it. Along with the development of high-resolution data acquisition techniques, 3D geometric models have become increasingly more complex. Due to the limitation of the hardware and computing tools, these models are challenging to analyze, render, simulate, and calculate interactively. However, such complex 3D geometries are not needed, and to avoid excessive details and to omitting less critical content, this study proposes a minimal workflow for mesh reduction using Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D. The paper provides information on an optimized workflow for mesh simplification with boundary and texture preservation in the process of adapting a high-resolution photogrammetry model for 3D printing.
