This paper describes the application of 3D techniques, such as Reverse Engineering (RE), Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (RP), for studying the skeletal remains of the Upper Palaeolithic Romito 7. Laser Scanning data were used to create the 3D models of the bones on which traditional and innovative analyses were performed in a CAD environment. Moreover, starting from the digital models of the single bones a virtual reconstruction of the whole skeleton both in the anatomical connection and in the burial position discovered during the excavation was carried out. Finally, physical models of the bones were directly fabricated by means of RP process. This non-invasive approach increase the amount of data collected from a morphological and morphometric point of view, reduces the risk of damages of the skeletal remains and allows the enhancement of the skeleton of the Romito 7 giving it back to its original configuration.

Abstract

This paper describes the application of 3D techniques, such as Reverse Engineering (RE), Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (RP), for studying the skeletal remains of the Upper Palaeolithic Romito 7. Laser Scanning data were used to create the 3D models of the bones on which traditional and innovative analyses were performed in a CAD environment. Moreover, starting from the digital models of the single bones a virtual reconstruction of the whole skeleton both in the anatomical connection and in the burial position discovered during the excavation was carried out. Finally, physical models of the bones were directly fabricated by means of RP process. This non-invasive approach increase the amount of data collected from a morphological and morphometric point of view, reduces the risk of damages of the skeletal remains and allows the enhancement of the skeleton of the Romito 7 giving it back to its original configuration.
