Safeguarding skeletons using 3D digitisation

The University of Bradford has secured almost £750K to safeguard skeletons from world-renowned collections based in Bradford and London.



The project, funded by the 'Joint Information Systems Committee' (JISC), will use 3D laser scanning, CT scans and high resolution photography together with new clinical descriptions and historical illustrations to create a web-accessible archive of photo-realistic digital 3D models of pathological type-specimens. The skeleton collections used in the project will be from internationally renowned collections that have restricted access and are therefore usually only seen by students and researchers.
