“…In India, 3D printing technologies have attracted significant interest from researchers and industries in recent years. Jani et al [ 86 ] reported the application of 3D printing in forensic medicine, odontology, ballistics, and anthropology. Sandhu et al [ 87 ] detailed the materials and 3D printing processes for effective food preparation to stay competitive in the market.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spread to over 180 countries and abruptly disrupted production rates and supply chains worldwide. Since then, 3D printing, also recognized as additive manufacturing (AM) and known to be a novel technique that uses layer-by-layer deposition of material to produce intricate 3D geometry, has been engaged in reducing the distress caused by the outbreak. During the early stages of this pandemic, shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE), including facemasks, shields, respirators, and other medical gear, were significantly answered by remotely 3D printing them. Amidst the growing testing requirements, 3D printing emerged as a potential and fast solution as a manufacturing process to meet production needs due to its flexibility, reliability, and rapid response capabilities. In the recent past, some other medical applications that have gained prominence in the scientific community include 3D-printed ventilator splitters, device components, and patient-specific products. Regarding non-medical applications, researchers have successfully developed contact-free devices to address the sanitary crisis in public places. This work aims to systematically review the applications of 3D printing or AM techniques that have been involved in producing various critical products essential to limit this deadly pandemic’s progression.

“…The model can be written and saved as an STL file which can be visualised in virtual 3D viewing platforms/software or printed as a physical 3D model. The printed models provides tactile surface information of the scanned object [ 87 , 88 ]. This technology has since been incorporated into various fields of forensic science such as FA, crime scene reconstruction, ballistic reconstruction, and forensic medicine [ [88] , [89] , [90] , [91] , [92] ].…”

A survey of case studies on the use of forensic three-dimensional printing in England and Wales

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract3D printing has rapidly developed and been applied in forensic science due to its use in creating demonstrations for courts of law. Much of the literature on this specific topic has focused on the use of 3D printed models in academia, the potential influence on a jury, and its use as a long-term documentation process, but with few actual forensic case examples. This paper offers an insight into the development of 3D printing in forensic practice and how 3D printing is currently being used in the criminal justice system in England and Wales.A series of case reports were gathered from multiple police forces and forensic practitioners in the UK to identify how 3D printing was being used. These discussions established who was requesting 3D printed exhibits, what type of technologies were being utilised, what type of exhibits were being printed, and resulting feedback for the use of 3D printed material within a criminal case. As a result, this research demonstrates the current use of 3D printing in England and Wales, discussing the associated cases that have been known to incorporate 3D prints. Likewise, this work explores the limitations that have been encountered by forensic practitioners and identifies a series of research questions that should be considered in future investigations.
