Description

Some of these animals survived terrible injuries and were left without the means to eat, drink, or walk. Thankfully, dedicated caretakers and 3D printing technology have provided them with the means to start new lives with cutting-edge prosthetics.

Beauty, the bald eagle;This beautiful bald eagle was shot in the face by a hunter when she was six years old. Her beak was completely destroyed and she was left to starve in the woods. Thankfully, someone found her and immediately transferred her to a wildlife rehabilitation center.Despite many experts telling her to euthanize Beauty, Birds of Prey Northwest medic Jane Cantwell knew something could be done. She teamed up with 3D printing engineers, wildlife experts, and a Dentist to develop this Solidworks nylon polymer beak.3D Printing

  • Carol Segal Added It is good to know that people do what they can to prevent any animal from having to die from suffering when they can be saved.
  • Mary Added AMAZING!!!
    Amazing!
  • mimi Added It is wonderful that people are making good use of the 3D printers. I hope they continue on this good path and expand it even more to human beings. I know that some legs are made from these printers. Hopefully, the cleft pallet could be made also.
  • [email protected] Added How much was spent on this bird, that could have fixed a child's cleft pallet for ONLY $240 & 45 min in surgery?
  • Becky Added It's good to know there are folks out there with the knowledge, and good hearts, to help these animals in their time of need. I wish there was a way to STOP the rhino poachers entirely.
