Bald Eagle 3D Printed Beak

Here’s a great story. Beauty the Bald Eagle gets a second chance with help from 3D printing technology.

A bald eagle was shot and lost her upper beak. A “bionic beak” was fabricated using software designed for the aerospace industry, then 3D printed and affixed to the bald eagle in an elaborate procedure.

Shot and edited by Keith Bubach for Evening Magazine (KING-TV). 2008 Emmy winner.
