				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/richardiii-3d-printed-face.jpeg"style="font-size:13px;line-height:19px;"  target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-618427" alt="RichardIII-3d-printed-face" src="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/richardiii-3d-printed-face.jpeg?w=558&#038;h=371" width="558" height="371" /></a></p>
<p>The unearthing of King Richard III has given 3D printing yet another chance to show just how awesome it is.</p>
<p>The remains, confirmed this week as those of the dead king, were brittle, broken, and hundreds of years old. <a href="http://www.dundee.ac.uk/pressreleases/2013/february13/richard.htm" target="_blank">But using a combination of a 3D scanner and 3D printer</a>, researchers at the University of Dundee were able to reconstruct the dead king&#8217;s surprisingly ordinary face.</p>
<div id="attachment_618453" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 196px"><a href="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/richardiii.jpeg" target="_blank"><img class=" wp-image-618453 " alt="A not-so-flattering interpretation of Richard III. " src="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/richardiii.jpeg?w=186&#038;h=251" width="186" height="251" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A not-so-flattering depiction of Richard III.</p></div>
<p>The reconstruction confirms as much as it debunks about Richard III, who has been historically depicted as a deformed, hideous hunchback. In contrast, the reconstruction depicts a more normal-looking facade, with no sign of abnormalities besides a slight distortion of his shoulders.</p>
<p>To create the model, researchers used stereolithography, an additive manufacturing technique that uses a combination of ultraviolet-reactive liquid resin and ultraviolet light to create solid objects.</p>
<p>After printing the replica, the scientists painted it, added a pair of glass eyes, and topped it off with a wig and fashionable cap.</p>
<p>Researchers plan to eventually loan the reconstruction to the city of Leicester, which will display it at a visitors center it plans to build at &#8212; where else? &#8212; the site where Richard III&#8217;s remains were found. <span style="font-size:13px;line-height:19px;"><br />
