Thylascan is Now 3D Printing and Scanning Museum Specimens

As Bill Holden of Victoria, Australia, was walking along the beach when he came upon the remains of a whale washed up on the shore. It suddenly dawned on him that people might share his interest in preserving the remains of such beautiful, massive creatures so he, founded Thylascan to preserve the structures of extinct and threatened species. Holden and his company build 3D printed replicas and models of museum artifacts with CT scans. You can read the whole story here: http://3dprint.com/69979/thylascan-3d-scanned/

Below you will find a whale skull which is being 3D scanned for this project:

That's definitely not a whale skull. It's from the carnivora order, but it's hard to determine from the photo whether it's a bear or a big cat of some kind.
