Palaeontologists are using 3D mapping to piece together dinosaur bones. The 3D modelling show the scars of their muscle attachments in detail, which allows researchers to map these points on the virtual models used to make 3D prints of the bones. Using biomechanical modelling and robotics, the research team runs experiments to examine the efficiency of these artificial limbs. [WIRED]
