UK’s West Yorkshire Police install 3D printer for scientific support in trials

The West Yorkshire Police (WYP) force has installed a DeltaWASP 40 70 Industrial 3D printer in its Wakefield HQ. The machine was provided by 3D printer materials and hardware distributor Hawk 3D Proto, based in Bradford, and will be used by the force’s Regional Scientific Support Unit (SSU).

3D技术在法官和陪审团面前

As previously reported on 3D Printing Industry, 3D technologies have proven to be a valuable addition to law enforcement.必威APP精装版3D扫描仪是创建数字等效犯罪场景的有效工具,帮助法官和陪审团可视化犯罪。

在专用成像单元的支持下,英国的约克郡和亨伯地区一直在使用3D激光扫描技术来帮助解决犯罪。自2008年以来,添加3D打印机似乎是下一个合理的步骤,正如丹尼尔·夏普(Daniel Sharp)所解释的那样,犯罪现场调查主管WYP,speaking to TCT Magazine,“因此,能够在3D实体中重现犯罪现场是自然的进步。这将使法官和陪审团能够将犯罪现场掌握在手中。”

Sizeable 3D printed structures

The 40 70 Industrial model wasWASP在2017年MECSPE B2B上引入意大利的制造会议。它的构建体积为400mm x 400mm x 700mm(x x y x z),加热打印室和通风。这些功能使3D打印机可以使用需要控制环境的材料,例如大规模的ABS塑料和尼龙。WYP计划将这些功能用于其一个政府合作伙伴之一,并鼓励其在适当的犯罪情况下使用。

举一个例子说明机器的能力,在米兰的博览会上,Deltawasp 40 70工业的前身(简单地称为Deltawasp 40 70),使用了技术改进和金属外壳)创建轻巧的建筑Trabeculae Pavilion.Designed by Italy’s largest technical university, Politecnico di Milano, the Pavilion was 3D printed to demonstrate the structural and flexible capabilities of rapid fabrication technology and computerized design.
