![Jary, 22-year-old male great pied hornbill, has been given a 3D-printed prosthetic casque after surgery to remove cancerous tissue.In July, staff at Jurong Bird Park discovered an 8cm gash on Jary\'s casque - an enlarged section on the bill. They suspected the bird might be suffering from cancer as much of the tissue under Jary\'s casque had been destroyed by the disease. After a CT scan, surgeons decided to remove all the cancerous growth. The team worked with National University of Singapore to create a model of the casque for Jary to cover the exposed tissue as well as a jig to guide the saw during surgery. The whole design and 3D printing process took almost two months to complete.(Photo/VCG)](http://www.ecns.cn/hd/2018/11/05/1839deb03d464c1a90030c142ef898aa.jpg)
