Scott, as a long time stock photographer with photos that have been featured on Wikipedia and in various magazines and textbooks, has a practice of giving his stock photos away free for use in lectures, school reports, or conservation efforts so long as they will be used non-commercially. Camazine may directly aid his own species, as well. When you purchase the skull or pendant of an animal marked “Endangered Species” from Scott’s website, he will give a percentage of the money to a cause for endangered species. While Scott cannot state on Kickstarter that he will donate some of his profits to a given cause, as it’s against the site’s “cause-based funding” rules, he has told me that he will gift a portion of his earnings from the sale of these skulls to conservation efforts. Perhaps you have a CT scan of your own that you would like me to process!)īy contributing to his campaign, not only will you be help increase the library of 3D skulls that exists in the world, but you will help the doctor give back to the animals he so loves. Western red colobus (endangered species).White-fronted spider monkey (endangered species).Geoffroy’s spider monkey (endangered species).Brown howler monkey (endangered species).Sumatran Orangutan (endangered species).The doctor has already rendered 3D models of a few different species, but the Kickstarter campaign will help Scott extend his skull menagerie to include the following extensive list (so extensive that I couldn’t help but to include it in full!): This not only allows for the creation of multiple copies of an object, without first making a mould, but it also preserves the original specimen. Scott began reassembling and casting remnants he discovered, such as fish bones and fetal pigs, and has, as an adult, turned to 3D printing. His interest in the process of preserving dates back to his childhood, when he first learned about lost-wax casting.

So far, the doctor has used Shapeways for his prints, but is also in the process of using Ponoko and i.materialise to compare. Camazine has gone about scanning Spider Monkey, Caiman Alligator and Black Bear skulls with a CT scanner to capture detailed 3D models, which he assembles and has printed in acrylic, stainless steel and bronzed stainless steel. Being mindful of death is of course a way to celebrate life, both of the individual and the species.Īnd, so, Dr. Now, some people might think of Scott as just another doctor who’s misusing the hospital’s CT scanner off-hours (just kidding!), but, really, Scott is turning his CT scans into 3D prints as a means of paying tribute to deceased animals, saying:Įach of my sculptures is in effect a “memento mori” or remembrance of the death of the individual and of the species. Scott Camazine is a doctor, biologist and artist who has turned to Kickstarter to fund the 3D printing of a variety of animal skulls. īe sure to 'Like' my Facebook page at to subscribe to my current prints/blogs, and see my Etsy page at for baby fetal scans, skulls, and other items to own.Here is a project that, while it is meant to frame nature as art, is also quite appropriate for the holiday. Please post a photo to share if you print this, and check out my other scans of skulls and bones at. Save hundreds of dollars for this replica of an endangered great ape, great for education or personal use. Be sure to sand the lip down, prime and paint it. You may have to resize the inserts by 1-2%, depending on your printer, but they should be snug to perfectly align the halves (I have included 3 at slightly diff sizes pick one to use). If not, I have included the skull sliced in half and inserts that you can print and line up the two halves. I have included the original sized skull with the jaw, if you have a large enough bed. I have many hours in scanning and processing a real Gorilla skull for this print. This is a high resolution scan of a Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) skull from my personal collection.
