T-rex Trix has a sister. Born into the world via 3D printers from Naturalis in Leiden. Hanneke Jacobs from Weert has been working on it for over a year with a team. Trix II arrived in Japan on Thursday. In the coming days, the Limburg native will help her colleagues from a museum in Nagasaki to put together her ‘building kit’ via the internet.
