When University of Massachusetts Amherst biologist Duncan J. Irschick was working with sharks in Florida final spring to better understand their body shapes,he longed for a simple, quick tool for creating 3-dimensional (3D) models of them, and which would allow him to compare complex shark body shapes among different species. He soon realized that such a device would be useful for creating 3D models of the living geckos he studies,as well.
