Ditching traditional aluminum horse shoes for lighter, 3D-printed replacements could lead to improved race day performance. That’s according to scientists (and one horse trainer) in Australia, who recently scanned the hooves of one local race horse, and then used 3D modeling software to create a perfectly-sized shoe. From there, it took less than 24 hours to have four titanium shoes printed and ready for the horse.
