Injured Toucan Found On A Road Gets 3D Printed Beak

A chestnut-eared aracari, a type of Toucan had his life saved thanks to the ingenuity of scientists, surgeons and 3D printing artist. Tuc Tuc, the Toucan was found injured on a street in Brazil missing a large portion of his lower beak. Cicero Moraes took a mold of the toucan's beak and then got to work 3D printing a new one. It took two hours to surgically attach the prosthetic beak to the bird. Cicero tells Inside Edition that Tuc Tuc wouldn't be able to survive without receiving a new beak. #InsideEdition
