This article presents the results of research conducted as part of the project titled "Improvement of access to culture and activation of disabled and socially excluded persons" Gospostrateg-VI/0022/2021 co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development. The aim of the research was to compare three widely used digitalization technologies: photogrammetry, structured light 3D scanning, and computer tomography. The comparison was conducted in terms of the quality and accuracy of reproducing the geometry of scanned objects, the complexity of the measurement process, its duration, and costs. One of the research assumptions was that during scanning, no interference with the surface of the scanned object was allowed (e.g., using matting sprays or applied markers), which simulated conditions such as scanning museum exhibits. The selected objects for the research had various challenging characteristics for scanning, such as highly glossy, matte, porous, or blurry surfaces, and were made of different materials such as metal, wood, or plastics. The article briefly discusses the operation of each tested technology, the methods and steps taken to obtain the final 3D models, and presents their comparison. The research showed that highly glossy surfaces posed the greatest challenge for photogrammetry and structured light scanning, while high density and thickness of the object negatively affected the quality of results obtained using computer tomography. The most accurate reproduction of geometry was provided by the most expensive computer tomography, while the least accurate was the cheapest technology, photogrammetry. Both methods require lot of time, knowledge and skills from the operator to achieve best results . Often, the structured light scanner proved to be the best solution, combining simple and fast operation with very satisfactory results in terms of accuracy and detail in reproducing the real object.

Digitalization has revolutionized one of the most significant industries in the modern world, which is education. It has proven to be a successful and renowned strategy throughout the entire spectrum of the education industry. It has dissolved the distinction between physical and virtual distance and integrated more scientific methods for instructors to teach pupils. In order to select the most relevant studies in the digitalization field, bibliometric anal-ysis was used, with the principal source of scientific articles selected being the academic platform Scopus. The content of 3836 research articles has been taken into consideration since 2019 and 2023. The search documents related to the “digitalization” issue are in title, abstract, and keywords. In order to highlight the structure of the scientific field, we used a content analysis, inspecting the most common words and the relationships between words. Additionally, a network of co-occurrences was taken into account. The analysis was performed using the WOSviever program. In the next part of the research, the term “digitalization” was examined in more detail. The Scopus search engine uses filters, including the terms "digitalization," "higher,” and "education," but is limited to key words. The content of 104 research articles has been taken into consideration since 2019 and 2023. The re-search results showed that the fields of technology, education, and management provide the theoretical basis for research on the digitalization of higher education. The findings also demonstrate the topic's interdisciplinary char-acter (as seen by publications published in several fields) and its strong relationship to concepts like online learn-ing, digital transformation, and sustainable development. Based on the literature analysis, it can be concluded that University 4.0 will go to the smart fully digital University (University 5.0), will take care of aspects of sustain-able development, and will develop teachers' soft skills, especially emotional intelligence.

The rapidly developing manufacturing industry constantly needs top specialists to ensure sustainability (resource optimisation, production efficiency, sustainable products) and to implement the latest know-how (digitalisation, big data analytics, artificial intelligence). Those requirements, in turn, place higher demands on universities, curricula, teaching staff and, above all, laboratories to teach the concept of a smart factory. TTK University of Applied Sciences (TTK UAS) has come to an understanding that renovation of existing production laboratories is unavoidable. Keeping this in mind, a study needs to be conducted to investigate best practices and strategies to develop a new concept that best suits TTK UAS. In this article, the authors examine how to renovate and update the existing university laboratories (production, measurement, CAD/CAM) using simulation software with a Learning Factory concept in mind while still ensuring research development capability. Using the case-study methodology, factory automation simulation software, and a new pedagogical approach, the TTK UAS industrial engineering laboratories are functioning as a cluster, achieving higher learning and R&D efficiency.
