Anatomical Models for Training, Research, and Validation

Stratasys Direct creates lifelike 3D printed anatomical models that replicate the look, feel, and mechanical behavior of real tissue and bone. These models provide a safe, repeatable alternative to cadavers for surgical training, device validation, and research — enabling consistent, cost-effective, and disease-specific testing. 

Applications: 
• Surgical training and rehearsal 
• Medical and nursing education 
• Device fit, testing, and validation 
• Research and simulation 

Customizable to patient data or specific pathologies, each model delivers precision, repeatability, and realism for educational and clinical teams.
