Saber-Toothed Cat Skull

Just one look at the impressive skull of this massive feline and you’ll be glad it’s been extinct for 11,000 years. Walking the Earth alongside our human ancestors for millennia, saber-toothed cats’ impressive fangs were precision killing tools that helped earn them the scientific name Smilodon fatalis. With the intent of making the 3D printing ecosystem more accessible to educators, MakerBot Academy has selected Common Core Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics that align with our 3D printed content. Our goal is to lower the barrier to 3D printing in the classroom by directing teachers to standards-aligned resources. We hope to make the process of incorporating 3D printing technology into the curricula more seamless for teachers and students alike. Find these resources in the "Instructions" tab.
