Research into bizarre 3d industry segments

For my main piece, I am very interested in looking into an area of 3d modelling that you wouldn't think about straight away. Josh told me about the use of 3d modelling in historical use, police investigations and even for hospitals.

For the police/ forensics side of things, they use 3d modelling for a variety of different things. The daily mail wrote a post in 2013 about how they have been using three-dimensional equipment since around the year 2000 to try and reconstruct what people looked like based upon their boney remains. But they also try to reconstruct entire 3d environments with diagrams explaining how a crime was carried out.
For the actual crime scene model they use elements captured by security video cameras, police in-car videos, police & dispatch communications/gps data/reports, csi reports, trajectory analysis and blood splatter evidence. (Source, http://eyewitnessanimations.com/crime-scene-reconstruction/)

 

In hospitals, apparently its becoming more and more frequent that they actually use 3d modelling to model important elements used for operations and print them off using a 3d printer. They have gone so far as to create things such as a completely reconstructed skull to rehearsing incredibly complex operations as well as implants actually used in surgury.
3D printing saves time, money and lives. In the future they are hoping to create 3d printed cells, but we are probably quite far off that stage!
