Housing solution for crabs
Elizabeth Demaray is using rapid prototyping lasers to create plastic monocoque shells for land hermit crabs.

The shells aim to remedy the shortage, but also to improve on the existing natural solution. Thoughts on advanced prosthetics, accelerated evolution and the use of technology in environmental issues.
