“…Increasing attention needs to be paid to detrimental impacts of commercial activities, especially mineral extraction, and to a lesser extent the disruptive removal of specimens from their natural environments and scientific over-sampling as well as unintentional and intentional damage sampling on vent ecosystems (Vrijenhoek 2010;Van Dover 2011Keaveney et al 2016;Van Dover et al 2016). Protection and future preservation of biological communities of the unique hydrothermal environments require knowledge of the biodiversity and connectivity of associated species, together with cooperation, effective deep-sea resource management and policy at national and international levels.…”

“…This adds a new dimension to the education and engagement process, without the need for the creation of expensive and timeconsuming artist-created models. An example of a 3D paper printed living coral specimen can be seen in Figure 9, produced for Keaveney et al (2016).…”

“…While these benefits make FDM cheaper, quicker and more accessible than SLA systems, in general FDM processes produce parts with much lower resolutions and much rougher surface finishes than aforementioned SLA systems. The LOM method shows promise for specimen replication for public display, interaction, and engagement activities in the biological sciences leading to increased awareness and public/expert knowledge due to the incredible accuracy of the FIGURE 9 | Paper 3D printer Platygira daedalea colony sample with living tissue texture map (Keaveney et al, 2016). texture recreation from the digital specimen.…”

Additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing is becoming an easily accessible method to produce 3D objects ranging from medical devices to jet plane parts. However, this implies the creation of an accurate 3D digital model by Computer Assisted Design (CAD) or direct acquisition of a 3D model as well as a correct understanding of the various 3D printing technologies available with their pros and cons. Here, we present a method for editing and printing of 3D models of coral colonies for the generation of accurate and enhanced 3D models suitable for research and education. This is a follow-up from other papers where 3D scanning was performed on fresh coral samples from field trips and coral skeletons from museum collections using different imaging techniques (multi-image photogrammetry and Micro CT scanning). 3D scans of colonies and samples of Turbinaria sp., Leptoseris incrustans, Oulophyllia crispa, Echinopora sp., Siderastrea savignyana, and Platygira daedalea were used to produce multi-material and multi-scale 3D prints. Moreover, we studied the best practices for the 3D printing processes, and potential technologies most suitable for specific attributes in this practice. Additionally, we show the innovative application of 3D printed inert reactive corals able to indicate environmental changes, along with insights into the potential uses for the proposed method and related systems in biological fields and sharing with an online community.

“…Point cloud registration techniques are widely employed to obtain virtual models of real structures. They are used in different fields, such as 3D printing, 3D mapping, 3D object detection, 3D scanning, and others [15,16]. In the 3D scanning, which this work has been based on, the full reconstruction of structures using multi-camera system requires a reliable and robust image registration algorithm to align the 3D point clouds captured by each camera system to obtain the entire field of view of the whole model, the called stitching process.…”

In this work has been discussed a propose of using three-dimensional point-tracking measuring technique for measurement of large structures in which the entire field of interest could not be captured by a unique stereo-vision system. Two pairs of a stereo-system are used to capture the whole field of measurement of interest of the model and point cloud registration techniques are exploited aiming at extending the capability of digital image measurement system for dynamic measuring (displacement) for large-scale structures. Three different image registration algorithms, principle component analysis, singular value decomposition, and iterative closest point are used in the stitching process to join the point clouds obtained with the multi-camera system. The proposal is applied to vibration measurement of a wind turbine blade of 2.3 m in length, whose field of view of the whole set of points of interest is greater than the field of view of a unique stereo-vision system. The reconstruction of the set of measured points was obtained from the junction of the points clouds of each stereo-system in a reference system and a probabilistic and statistical analysis of the error generated by the transformation of the point clouds was performed. And finally, the frequencies of the structure obtained from the digital image measured data were compared with the values obtained from a set of accelerometers.
