Beauty and the Beak
by Deborah Lee Rose and Jane Veltkamp
After her beak is shattered, an injured bald eagle is rescued and brought to a raptor center. Due to the damage to her beak, Beauty the eagle is unable to eat or drink on her own. However, a biologist at the raptor center comes up with the innovative idea of creating a new beak for the injured eagle. With the help of 3D printing, a prosthetic beak is designed and created for Beauty!
What an inspiring story! This true story, which includes many photographs of Beauty, shows readers the possibilities for 3D technology in changing the lives of injured animals like Beauty. This is a great book for animal lovers as well as those who are interested in 3D printing.
