Top 1: Bird was saved by 3D printing
Additive manufacturing can be helpful in a lot of ways one such way is when animals get hurt or sick. Recently a Bird was saved by 3D printing. Jary is a hornbill, this tropical bird is easily noticed by its big and beautiful beak. After Jary got cancer his beautiful beak had to be hacked as a result of the treatment. The veterinarians who treated him made a 3D printed prosthesis to cover the cut. The bird, aged 22, supports the piece very well and can continue to live as before, adopting the new pieces as if it was its original beak. As this bird was saved by 3D printing it is a good example on how 3D technologies can help animals.
