1	The role of 3D printing in biological anthropology Allard, Travis T. 14 September 2006 (has links) The following work explores the role of 3D printing in biological anthropology. A case study approach is used to provide an understanding of two different applications for 3D printing and to identify a potential methodology for creating 3D models. Case study one looks at the application of 3D printing to reconstruction projects using a flowerpot to test the reconstruction methodology. The second case study uses both laser surface and CT scanning to create a replica of a human skeleton. The two methods of data acquisition are evaluated for advantages and limitations in creating the virtual model. This work shows that there is a role for 3D printing in biological anthropology, but that data acquisition and processing issues are the most significant limiting factors in producing skeletal replicas. / October 2006 Rapid Prototyping 3D Printing CT Laser Scanning Anatomical Modeling Biological Anthropology Virtual Reality 3D Imaging 3D Modeling Virtual Reconstruction Skeletal Replica Museum Exhibit
