Myths about TCTs dispelled
The term time-compression technologies is one that many people, including some of the people that actually use them, associate only with the design and engineering of premium products.
The term time-compression technologies is one that many people, including some of the people that actually use them, associate only with the design and engineering of premium products - such as aircraft and car engines While comprehensive use of time-compression technologies has undoubtedly contributed to dramatic reductions in lead times and costs for this sort of product as recorded by the leading aerospace and automotive companies, the myth that this is all they can do is one that the TCT Conference and Exhibition aims to dispel

The truth is that time-compression technologies can be utilised for a host of applications - large or small, and in some surprising places! Cultural tourism is a rapidly expanding market.
Inevitably this has placed immense pressure on a number of cultural heritage sites around the world with a large number of researchers.
The production of high fidelity facsimiles is seen as a means of relieving pressure on such sites.
One of the top quality papers to be presented at the TCT 2002 conference by Adam Lowe of Factum Arte, will discuss the initial development work relating to the production of conservation facsimiles for the proposed Desert Valley Project to be built near Giza, Egypt, using time-compression technologies.
The presentation will also review previous state-of-the-art facsimiles in relation to the preliminary work carried out to recreate the tomb of Seti 1, Valley of the Kings, Luxor.
The site of the Desert Valley Project in Dreamland, sited within easy reach of the Great Pyramids at Giza and the proposed new Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, will offer tourists and researchers alike a unique experience.
The aim of the project is to create a museum housing five tombs that have been closed to the public for several years.
Each exhibit will be a full size 3D physical copy that replicates, in the most minute detail, every aspect of the original.
Other presentations that will be made at TCT 2002 will come from world class manufacturers that have used TCTs to improve their rapid product development processes, and this information will be shared liberally with all TCT 2002 delegates.
