<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:black">we recently started experimenting with 3D prints of animal bones to duplicate specimens of our zoological reference collection. The aim is to have copies of isolated bones available
at different locations. That means that we'll have the original skeleton stored in our main collection and one or various 3d printed copies of single bones in another building, city or even country.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:black">I would like to know how other collections handle this kind of situation in terms of labelling, registration in the database, etc. How do you mark them as 3D printed in the database
(whichever database you might use)? Do you give a completely new ID or one modified from the original skeleton's? Is there any way to add the specimen ID before printing (think, embossed on the 3D printed bone)?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:black">I'm very grateful for any advice. Thanks a lot in advance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
