3D printing technology has been used to recreate Tyrannosaurus rexbones, study its smaller cousin, and determine its level of intelligence, and now a team of forensic dentists has 3D scanned the T. rex skull at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The dentists scanned the skull of the dinosaur, dubbed Sue, in hopes of determining the cause of some strange holes in its jawbone. Once the dentists received permission to scan the skull, they realized that their high-resolution dental scanners couldn't handle Sue's enormous jaw. So they contacted the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture group, which pieced together a new 3D scanning system, using free software and $150 in hardware, including a Microsoft Kinect, that was able to produce a viable 3D scan of the five-foot-long skull.
