Forensic science is at a crossroads, with a growing call to reclaim its foundation in rigorous scientific inquiry. To achieve this, it’s imperative that the field integrates a nuanced understanding of the legal framework and its implications. Moreover, research must be deeply embedded into both practice and policy, fostering a culture of evidence-based decision making that informs and improves forensic science outcomes. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a cutting-edge manufacturing process that transforms digital designs into tangible, physical objects. 3D printing has revolutionized engineering, healthcare, and dentistry, and its potential in forensic science is now being tapped. This paper delves into the benefits of 3D printing in forensic science, from preserving evidence to clarifying complex concepts. To unlock its full potential, standardized practices, reliable models, and rigorous investigation of techniques and bias are needed, ultimately requiring a collaborative research effort through a specialist working group.
