This joint project between FabLab and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine examines the application of additive manufacturing in veterinary anatomy education. The research focused on assessing the cost and feasibility of 3D printing anatomical models, including a human heart, inner ear, animal cell cross-section, spinal cord, sheep, cow, and cat brains, as well as a full-body dog model with internal organs.
The findings demonstrate that 3D printing is a cost-effective method for producing anatomical models for veterinary education, with labor hours representing the main cost factor. The project contributes to integrating advanced manufacturing technologies in veterinary curricula and builds capacity for using digital tools in scientific and academic settings.
