Revitalizing Marine Biodiversity via 3D Printing

What comes to mind when you think of conservation? I bet it’s not 3D printing. 3Dnatives shares different projects that use 3D technologies to help the conservation of marine biodiversity.

Coral reefs stand as some of the planet’s most ancient and diverse ecosystems. Teeming with an array of organisms including corals and fish, they represent a rich haven of biodiversity. Beyond their ecological significance, they provide sustenance and economic value to millions of people worldwide. Yet, these vital ecosystems face imminent peril, primarily due to climate change, alongside local stressors such as fishing, habitat degradation, and escalating pollution. Alarmingly, projections indicate that over half of all corals could vanish within three decades, prompting the Convention on Biological Diversity to categorize them as “highly threatened with extinction.” To counteract this crisis, a solution has emerged in the form of additive manufacturing and 3D technologies.
