Comparative assessment of anatomical details of thoracic limb bones of a horse to that of models produced via scanning and 3D printing

Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) scanning and printing for the production of models is an innovative tool that can be used in veterinary anatomy practical classes. Ease of access to this teaching material can be an important aspect of learning the anatomy of domestic animals. In this study, a scanner was used to capture 3D images and a 3D printer that performs die-cast printing was used to produce skeletal models of the thoracic limb of a horse.
