Scientists recreate fossils by using CT scans, 3-D printers

เขียนโดย fahummeenudmin
Washington: Scientists have created precise copies of fossilised bones by using data from computed tomography (CT) scans and three-dimensional (3-D) printers. Fossils are often stored in plaster casts, or jackets, to protect them from damage. Getting information about a fossil typically requires the removal of the plaster and all the sediment surrounding it, which can lead to loss of material or even destruction of the fossil itself. German researchers have now proven the possibility of using CT to create a 3-D scan that separates the fossilised bone and its surrounding sediment matrix, before using a 3-D printer to produce an accurate model.
