I am currently on a research trip at the Universidad de Alicante where I am working with Alejandro Romero on 3D methdologies for the IDENTITIES Project. The campus and weather are beautiful to say the least. Departamento de Biotecnología, Universidad de Alicante where I am currently working. My task for the two weeks that I am in Alicante is to scan as many teeth as possible and begin to work with the software needed to manipulate and analyze the 3D models we create. Below you can see the scanner in the background and a dental cast sitting on a rotating platter. The platter rotates automatically and scans are taken at set increments. The scans are then automatically fused together after the platter completes a full rotation. The image to the right shows fused scan before further post-processing takes place. The weird "glob" at the top of the scan is some modeling clay that held the tooth stationary on the platter which will be removed later.
