3D technology reproduces long-lost Buddha statues
TAIYUAN-With the help of 3D printing technology, 10 reproduced Buddha statues are on display in a museum in Taiyuan, Shanxi province.
The 3D printed statues are of those that were originally stored in the famous Tianlong Mountain Grottoes but were stolen or lost overseas in the 1920s.
"I used to climb Tianlong Mountain and was curious every time I saw the empty grottoes. Today, I finally got to know what they really look like," said Taiyuan resident Liu Mei after she visited the exhibition, which was launched in late September and will last half a year.
