Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing a means for identifying recovered component parts of a destroyed assembly quickly and relatively easily using digital or electronic scanning techniques and comparison to virtual components that are presumed to have constituted the original assembly. The method also provides a means for digitally rigging the component parts in three-dimensional virtual space, thereby minimizing and, in some situations, possibly eliminating any need to physical rig the component parts.
