Shrinking a large test database: Can you create a new db with all the existing metadata but no data?

We have three very large nonprod repositories (over 3TB).  Dev and Test, especially, do not need to be as large as they are.  I understand shrinking the size is difficult because of referenced objects, released objects, etc.  Looking at it from a different angle, I'm wondering if we can somehow export the structure and metadata but without the data and then import publications and objects to build a new small database.
