Abstract
Anthropology undergraduate and graduate students have been 3D scanning and printing casts of fossil hominin material for use as a resource for student research projects. Continued scan and print quality problems have impacted this process significantly, especially with regards to the precision and accuracy of the prints produced. We are seeking funding to replace the current 3D scanner and 3D printer with higher-precision models to produce research-quality fossil casts and create a digital collection for student research. This application is a modified resubmission of a previous application (ID: 2017-69).
