Using 3-D scans of fossils in the University’s collection, the team is able to produce 3-D printed replicas of the fossils. Those replicas can then be used in museums, as teaching aids, and a number of other uses. One particularly fascinating use? By pairing the 3-D printed fossils with robotics, scientists are able to test how dinosaurs actually...
