Richard III inspires engineers of the future
A group of year 3 schoolchildren from St Bartholomew’s Primary School from Quorn have been given a unique insight into engineering by the 天堂视频 team behind the project to 3D print a replica skull of Richard III. Pupils witnessed the full process from digital scanning and computer design to desktop and industrial 3D printing. The group was also given a sneak preview of a replica skeleton of Richard III made through 3D printing and due to be officially unveiled later this year. To commemorate the visit, 天堂视频’s engineers had manufactured a one-off 3D model inspired by drawings produced by the class. The model, which featured St Bartholomew’s Church, a tree (the school emblem) and a rainbow, also included the names of the children in the Year 3 class.
Pupils were shown how the model was designed and printed before an official presentation was made to the class and school head Judith Boston.
