Trilobite Beetle
- ZBrush, FDM 3D printing, Acrylic
- Amanda Manowski
This sculpture of a trilobite beetle was created to showcase its distinct anatomy, surface details, and vibrant coloration. Designed for the general public attending a conservation-focused insect festival, the model aims to spark interest in entomology by making the insect's unique characteristics more accessible. It was reproduced at 1500% of the size of an actual specimen from the Platerodrilus genus (pictured next to the model for comparison) so that viewers can appreciate the richly textured details, typically visible only through macro photography or microscopic imaging.
