Science 3D printing to build robotic dinosaur models Drexel University is starting to create 3D scans of fossils to better study the motion of giant dinosaurs through small-scale robotic models.

Dinosaur fossils can be a biological puzzle, but technology like CT scans and 3D printing is helping scientists make new discoveries. Kimberley Chapelle, a doctoral student at the University of ...

Science Dinosaurs After 60 years, a mysterious Australian dinosaur just got downsized Once thought to be a carnivore, the Prosauropoda looked very different after a 3D makeover.

Over the summer, the AMNH hosted a camp called “Discovering Dinosaurs,” where students were able to put together their own models using 3D-printed parts.

The Musselshell Valley Historical Museum in Roundup has been accepted as the newest stop on the Montana Dinosaur Trail.

Of those, several hundred have been converted into 3D models, which can be examined up-close and rotated inside an interactive window. Another 125 of the specimens can be downloaded for 3D printing.

After the bones are printed out, campers identify which the dinosaur they’re from (Allosaurus, in this case), figure out where each bone goes, and then put the pieces together with a little hot ...

Printing a dinosaur The scans showed a fractured bone. Some of the cracks were no doubt from fossilization, Issever said. But one crunched-up corner was likely the result of the bombing.

Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Anyone with access to a 3D printer can now create a replica of a 200-million-year-old dinosaur skull. Scientists at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South ...
