Scientists print 3D models of Great Barrier Reef in bid to save it

Researchers creating virtual maps of coral reefs to precisely model how structure altered by environmental change

Scientists are using 3D printing technology to create prosthetic coral that could be used to help the Great Barrier Reef recover from bleaching and storms.

Researchers at the University of Sydney are creating virtual 3D maps of coral reefs to precisely model how their structure is altering as a result of environmental change.
