The Smithsonian has also established Smithsonian X 3D, a website for visitors around the world to follow the developments of the 3D revolution and learn about opportunities in 3D manufacturing, research and education. The Smithsonian has also made available free STL files of its collection for visitors to download and print, either at home or through the cloud. The complete collection includes approximately 20 artifacts, ranging in size from 12 cubic inches to 36 cubic inches.
The whale fossil is the just first of many 3D heritage projects the Smithsonian has undertaken in its multi-year partnership with 3DS. So enjoy this video, and remember to stay tuned for more!
