The woolly mammoth has been extinct for thousands of years, but recently scientists have considered taking DNA from frozen mammoths and regenerating them as living creatures.

By teaming up with Beijing Tiertime Technology Co., Ltd., and that company's UP Plus 2 3D printer, a 3D printed mammoth stands tall in the "Journey of Printing Collections" exhibition. The 3D model was printed in 197 sections, assembled into one huge finished product. Read more about the process in the full story: http://3dprint.com/71930/3d-printed-woolly-mammoth/
