Media report on Hudson Museum exhibit on Hudson Museum exhibit
News Center Maine, the Morning Sentinel and 3D Printing Media Network reported that the University of Maine Hudson Museum has opened a new exhibit showcasing a 3D printed replica of a 19th-century clan helmet from the Northwest Coast, and photography that documents its creation. The original Tlingit Frog Clan Helmet, carved out of yellow cedar, painted in green and red pigments, and inlaid with abalone shell discs that were previously attached to a textile, sits alongside its replica. The 3D printed model was created by engineers from UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center and graduate students from the Intermedia Program.
