In this episode of Meet the Makers, we sit down with Daniel Orr, a unique creator who collaborates with the Missouri Institute of Natural Science to 3D print components for dinosaur reconstructions. Daniel shares his journey into 3D printing, spurred by personal circumstances, and how it led him to volunteer at the museum. He delves into the challenges and triumphs of printing large-scale dinosaur parts, the museum's history, and its significant discoveries. Daniel's story is a testament to how passion and community involvement can lead to extraordinary contributions in the field of paleontology.
