Hello- I have a good friend who is a forensic anthropologist. Ever seen the TV show 'Bones?' That what she does- helps identify people by analyzing their bones. We have been discussing using a 3D printer to reproduce bones from blue-light scans. If we work this process out, it can allow her to 'send'/'receive' samples to/from colleagues all over the world. It's a really cool idea- if it is accurate enough.
My interest is in the metrological error and the printing error that will be present in the process.
If you consider the bone's original surface as the basic surface (nominal), what kind of profile tolerance can I expect from 3D printed parts? Anyone doing anything like this?
Thanks for your comments!
