“…These virtual techniques allowed investigators to examine minute details of biological structures and provided insights to fossil interiors, previously unseen barring destructive sampling (see Rivera and Sumner, 2014;Schemm-Gregory, 2014). Today, researchers can render virtual files tangible once again, by converting scans to formats that allow modification and 3D printing for education and further study (Teshima et al, 2010;Rahman et al, 2012;Cunningham et al, 2014;Hasiuk, 2014). Furthermore, the falling costs of printers has made 3D printing a viable option for explicit experimental paleontological study.…”

“…The interest in providing visually impaired people with tactile observation materials has led to more active interest in attempting to make use of digital fabrication technologies. Along with these developments have been attempts to produce models of things like astronomical bodies or minute plankton [1], which cannot be tactilely observed directly. Researchers have also been working to produce topographical maps in sharp relief.…”

“…Using these techniques, tiny specimens can be enlarged until micrometer-scale features can be seen with the naked eye, and even the most fragile fossils can be safely handled by non-specialists. Furthermore, such objects potentially allow blind and visually impaired people to engage with fossils through touch (Teshima et al 2010), an important step towards accessibility in a traditionally highly visual field.…”
