Resumen
Este proyecto tiene como objetivo principal recrear una grúa romana a escala reducida, conocida como
"Polyspasto", mediante herramientas tecnológicas modernas como el modelado 3D e impresión 3D. Se
integra una investigación histórica y tecnológica sobre la ingeniería del Imperio Romano, basándose en
documentos clave como "Los Diez Libros de Arquitectura" de Vitruvio.
El trabajo incluye un análisis del contexto histórico y de las aplicaciones de las grúas romanas,
explorando su funcionamiento y evolución. Además, se detalla el diseño geométrico, selección de
materiales, proceso de construcción y culmina con una maqueta funcional de la grúa, representando los
principios mecánicos usados por los romanos, como la ventaja mecánica y sistemas de poleas. Esta
investigación contribuye al entendimiento del ingenio técnico romano y su relevancia en la evolución de
la ingeniería.
