“Can we save the rhino from poachers with a 3D printer?” read one headline in 2015. ... Pembient sought to tackle the problem head-on when it launched in 2015.

The second phase involves perfecting the modelling of the radiological doses and includes intensive computer modelling of the rhino horn and the head of the White Rhino to prepare for the pilot phase.

"It's not that easy to do a CT scan of a rhino head," said Larkin, "but fortunately there are one or two places in the world that we can do that." A team at the University of Witwatersrand is creating ...

Researchers will CT scan and 3D print an entire rhino head, which will have similar shielding properties to animal flesh. They will then put radioactive material into the horn.
