Beauty the bald eagle was shot in the face by a poacher in 2005, damaging her beak so badly she was on track to be euthanized. But scientists, engineers, and even a dentist designed a nylon polymer beak using a 3-D modeling program that would perfectly replace her lost upper mandible. After a 3-D printer was used to fabricate the prosthetic (and after an arduous procedure to attach it), Beauty is now able to eat, drink, and preen herself again
