As part of a joint project between the author and Guy Michael Davis, the taxidermy rat on the right was scanned in using a Konica Minolta three-dimensional scanner. The digital file produced was used to print both a larger and small prototype (shown here) in a plaster-like material on a Z-Corp 510 three-dimensional printer. The prototypes were then used to make molds for casting porcelain.
