Article Synopsis
- 3D structured light scanning is a useful tool in forensic anthropology for creating accurate models of skeletal remains, which aids in analysis, data sharing, and legal presentations without risking damage to originals.
- The study evaluates the accuracy of 3D scans and prints for ten different bone types by comparing standard measurements from physical bones, virtual models, and printed versions, using specific statistical methods to quantify errors.
- Results show that measurements from virtual models and prints are generally accurate (within ±2 mm), but some bones were less reliable for specific measurements; overall, the technique meets acceptable standards for forensic analysis.
