Take a look at the steps involved in creating a three-dimensional printing of a potential Bigfoot skeleton with Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum in this scene from “Bigfoot Captured.”
Idaho State University has 3D printed Bigfoot. As part of a History Channel documentary called “Bigfoot Captured,”
The university’s Robotics and Communication Systems Engineering Technology program was contracted to build an 8-foot-tall skeleton of the beast. The legendary creature, which has been sighted thousands of times over the last century, has been reported in 49 states, and now, thanks to a multitude of 3D printers scattered across Idaho and Washington, we are able to see, in life-sized detail (that was able to be interpreted wonderfully with the help of the animation companies), what its bone structure might actually look like.
Jeff Meldrum, an anthropology and anatomy professor at ISU, designed the model based on the 1967 video known as as the Patterson-Gimlin film, which claims to be a recording of Bigfoot. He also used conclusions drawn by Bigfoot researchers regarding the creature’s origins, and constructed the model based on the skeletons of Neanderthals as well as the Gigantopithecus blacki, an ancient, extinct ape that was twice the size of modern apes.
