Abstract

The following is a practical study looking to investigate the possibility of using 3D techniques to create a printed bone to be used as a replacement following a juvenile post-mortem. The research outlines the reason this is needed, exploring psychological, medical and digital paths to build a picture of where it could be put into practice. The Study found that the use of 3D techniques is highly useful and carries promise of becoming normal practice in the post-mortem reconstructive process. Using a 3D scanner, CAD software and a 3D printer, the creation of a juvenile bone was achieved, to an impressive standard. While also acknowledging where better practice could be implemented, and further research could be directed.
