3D Printed skeletons help people learn about anatomy

" Scientists from Massey University have developed a simple 3D scanning and printing method that will help students learn anatomy.
3D digital replicas of a cane toad skeleton and the tough cartilage from the head of a spiny dogfish were made using consumer-level scanners. The skeleton and cartilage replicas were printed using a selective laser sintering 3D printer. These test cases explain how high-quality replicas can be made more accessible and make a case for wider application of 3D printing in anatomy."
