A 3D-printed replica of Yungang Grottoes was launched in Shanghai Tuesday. It is the world’s first movable replica of a grotto using 3D-printing technology. The famed Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi Province were built in 460 AD. They are China’s largest ancient Buddhist grottoes and were included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 2001.
