3D Printing Saves Injured Tortoise by talomari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Three Canadian students have developed the ProtoCycler, a device that converts waste plastic into usable material for 3D printing. In Brazil, a team has utilized 3D printing technology to create artificial body parts for injured animals, including a tortoise named Freddy, who received a new shell after suffering severe burns. The prosthetic shell was designed using photographs and fitted surgically, with an artist later painting it to resemble a natural shell.
