Abstract
The natural history teaching collections at the University of Vermont is home to around 1,500 vertebrate specimens. The purpose of the teaching collection is to provide the University with curated and catalogued specimens to be used in classes or labs. However, some specimens are too small and fragile to be handled in a classroom setting. In this project we aim to 3D scan, model, enlarge, and print replicas of small mammal skulls to be used in university classes. We also aim to create protocols of this process that can be replicated for other specimen modeling and printing in the future.
