Those that weren't were at least made from scratch from basic materials. &nbsp;<a href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/karich-3d-printed-headphones/27093/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27016"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/science/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">SCIENCE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-rat-skeleton/27016/">Scientists create 3D-printed copy of living rat's skeleton</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">April 10, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-rat-skeleton/27016/#comments">2 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-rat-skeleton/27016/pictures">2 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-rat-skeleton/27016/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430033046im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/ratskeleton.jpg" title="Researchers have used a CT scanner and a 3D printer to create a physical model of a live r..." alt="Researchers have used a CT scanner and a 3D printer to create a physical model of a live r..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Researchers at Indiana’s University of Notre Dame recently placed an anesthetized lab rat in a CT scanner, created a digital 3D model of its skeleton from the scan data, and then sent that model to a commercial <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430033046/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/makerbot/" target="_blank">MakerBot</a> 3D printer.
