 The Tyrolean Iceman - the worldwide first stereolithographic model in anthropology |
In Virtual Anthropology, the rendering of a virtual object on
the computer screen allows to inspect its geometry by turning,
magnifying, clipping or viewing under different light settings.
However, the rendered image remains a two-dimensional projection of a
three-dimensional object. Understandably, real people demand a real object in their hands to
fully appreciate its characteristics or to show it to other real people
when no screen and software is available. Virtual objects can be
brought back to the real world by Rapid Prototyping (RP)
techniques. Different RP techniques use different materials and
methods, but they are all based on the same principle - creating a
three-dimensional structure layer by layer. |

We introduce here one of the first RP techniques
that delivers excellent results in terms of resolution and material
properties, Stereolithography.

Three-dimensional models can serve a multitude of
purposes, from applied medicine to teaching.
