In “Jurassic Park III” (2001), a scene showcases the use of 3D printing where a character, Billy Brennan, uses a rapid prototyper to 3D print a Velociraptor resonating chamber. He describes the process as taking scan data from a raptor skull, which the computer then breaks down into thousands of slices to be sculpted one layer at a time by the printer【20†source】. This portrayal reflects the actual capabilities of 3D printing, where objects are created layer by layer from digital models, a process also known as additive manufacturing.

“I give you the resonation chamber of a Velociraptor.”
