Bringing burnt bones back to 'life' using 3D technology

Last updated about 4 years ago

8 questions

Forensic scientists have discovered a new way of presenting fragile evidence, by reconstructing a 'jigsaw' of human bone fragments using 3D printing. In the first known study of its kind, researchers took fragmented burnt human bones and tested the ability to make 3D models suitable to be shown to a jury in court.

The researchers ultimately found that 3D imaging and printing allowed for effective physical fit analysis without _____________________ handling the original fragments.
