Creating Bone Simulation Models for Cutting and Drilling
3D printed bone-simulation models are revolutionizing medical training, surgical planning, research, and medical device development by putting realistic, patient-specific replicas of skeletal structures in the hands of healthcare professionals, researchers, and engineers. The in-house production of bone-simulation models offers a number of advantages over traditional methods that use cadaver bones or generic outsourced models: decreased costs, shortened wait times, and the opportunity to create custom or patient-specific geometries.

This application guide walks through the bone-simulation material options for stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing and the entire in-house manufacturing process for bone- like anatomical models intended for cutting and drilling.
