When Freddy the tortoise was caught in a bush fire in Brazil, it was a miracle that the
slow-paced creature managed to get out alive. Unfortunately, in the process, the reptile lost something precious – his shell. After learning about the trauma this tortoise had gone through, a newly-formed group of animal rescuers, aptly named “The Animal Avengers” decided to come forward and help the poor creature by creating a brand new, customized shell for him! The group, which consists of four vets, one dental surgeon, and one 3D designer, was able to make the shell by constructing a 3D computer image based on various pictures taken of Freddy. Once the design was created, Dr. Paulo Miamato, a dental surgeon, turned the design into reality with the use of a 3D printer.
