Dinosaur Skull

If you can, please take the time to read this little thing I wrote for work. It shares a large part of my feelings about 3D printing.

A huge benefit to 3D printing is being able to create teaching props for the classroom. Showing a picture of a subject matter is one thing, but being able to show a physical recreation of it is another.

This is a 3D scanned model of a Deinonychus skull which means that someone with access to an actual skull took the time to scan it into a computer to create a 3D model for us to use! This is an incredible thing to be able to share with students or anyone who has a desire to learn about dinosaurs.

Imagine a classroom full of grade school children learning about dinosaurs, and you have the ability to let them handle a dinosaur skull that you printed. Little 3rd grade me with his dinosaur toys and posters would have been fascinated!

This is one of the powers of 3D printing. It is fun for making toys, but is just as useful for facilitating someone???s education.

If you read the whole thing, thanks! If you skipped to the end, thank you, too!
