Objective: to develop the discussion on the subject from the point of view of Forensic Anthropology. Methodology: a summary review of the literature and consultation of the Portuguese legal system. Results: it is observable a legislative void and an absence of ethical norms about the 3D data production. Conclusion: it is essential that the technological revolution is followed by an adequate legal system and structured ethics committees for a sustainable evolution of Science.
