Researchers from ETH Zurich have created 3D rabbit models embedded with synthetic DNA that contained their own blueprints. That allows them to effectively "clone" the models, printing copies by ...

As with any 3d model project, the first step was to create the basic model itself. Using a mesh from CC3+ (Character Creator 3), Hesseling was able to quickly build and design the base model.

The fabricated Stanford bunny holds about 100 kilobytes of data, thanks to the addition of the DNA-containing nanobeads to the plastic used to 3D print it. "Just like real rabbits, our rabbit also ...
