A Grus japonensis broke his beak when fighting with
another one, It made him really hard to eat food for
the past a few years. Yesterday, the zoo stuffs are
planning to repair his wound with a 3D printing tita-
nium alloy beak.
During the operation, the veterinarian put a plastic
tube on this Grus japonensis’ beak and let him bre
athe anesthetic agents according to his weight. This
new titanium alloy beak is custom made base on its
body.
The first one is made from resin, but as we know,the
Grus japonensis is ferocity, the veterinarian replace
with titanium alloy finally. As we know titanium alloy
is hard and stable.
This Grus japonensis back to the zoo and recover the same
day after operation and along with fishing function.
Needless to say, the 3D printer technology plays a ma-
jor role, The mass production artificial limb can’t fit
very well for different features of animal, but custom
3D print is specify for unique body, really good work.
