What happens when you have the skeleton of one of the largest creatures to ever live on earth, the Dreadnoughtus? Well, although it soudns like an amazing piece to have, up until recently it would have been nearly impossible for many researchers to study the creature as it is nearly impossible to transport the bones over long distances. This has led to an awesome use of 3D scanning, which is now allowing just about anyone with a computer and internet connection to study the 3D models of this massive Dreadnoughtus. More details on this story and how 3D scanning is busting throug barriers, can be found here: http://3dprint.com/14620/3d-scan-print-dreadnoughtus
