Materialise to Print Life-Size Mammoth in Biggest SLA Project Ever

LEUVEN, BELGIUM – July 26, 2018 — Materialise NV is realizing its largest Stereolithography project yet — a life-size, 3D-printed reconstruction of the first mammoth skeleton that was ever displayed in Western Europe. The 320 bones making up the skeleton were scanned and digitally reconstructed and will still be printed, finished and fitted with a customized frame to hold up the skeleton. From October onwards, the 3D-printed mammoth will be on display in the Belgian city of Lier, the place where the original mammoth was found.
