JANUARY JOURNAL CLUB – Reconstructing homicide injuries with 3D-printed weapon replicas
This month, we present the following article:
Simon G, Tóth D, Heckmann V, Poór VS. The use of 3D-printed replicas of homicide weapons during autopsy.
International Journal of Legal Medicine. 2025. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00414-025-03691-z.
This case series explores how 3D-printed replicas of sharp and blunt weapons can be safely used during autopsy to reconstruct wound direction, force, and mechanism. Through real homicide cases, the authors show how this technique enhances injury interpretation, supports medico-legal conclusions, and improves courtroom communication without compromising evidence.
