ProM Facility, Trentino Sviluppo's advanced prototyping centre at Polo Meccatronica, has helped to bring the cave bear “back to life” using tomographic scanning and 3D printing technology. The project is the result of the graduation thesis of Andrea Sartori, a student at the LABA art school, carried out in collaboration with the Rovereto Civic Museum Foundation and the Valle Sabbia Archaeological Museum in Gavardo (Province of Brescia).
The aim? To combine science, design and accessibility, recreating the skull of the prehistoric animal on a 1:1 scale, for both scientific and educational purposes
