Technology has made an impact on our world as we know it. It continues to change year after year with new astounding advancements. 3D printing, in particular, has made a big difference in many facets of life and business alike.
Tim Carr the owner of Mindkits a New Zealand based tech company has embarked on an interesting project. The extinct New Zealand moa has been recreated for study. No this is not a sci-fi story, Mindkits has 3D printed the bones of this flightless bird. Standing at an astounding 12 feet and weighing in at 510lb, that’s a lot of bird if you ask me.
The idea of 3D printing prehistoric bones makes it more accessible for teachers to use rather than taking a trip to a museum and examining a species from behind the clear glass. This is an extremely creative way to teach classroom by combining technology and ecology together.
