[3D Printing News] Draw Muscle Lines, A New Way to Learn Anatomy!

Erin Harmon, a biology professor at Siena College (SCA) in New York, teaches anatomy and physiology. Her students need to be familiar with at least 40 to 50 muscle distributions and textures. Due to the complexity of the content, Professor Harmon once said, "The most difficult part for students is not the academic knowledge, but how to maintain their interest and passion."

Erin used to have students draw muscle distribution on paper, but due to the flat nature of paper, it was impossible to study every angle of the bones and muscles. She also tried using colored tape and clay on 3D life-size human skeleton models, but the materials were inconvenient to use and could damage the models, so the results were not ideal.

3D Doodles Beyond Imagination

"This way of learning makes rigid anatomy so interesting!" "This is the most memorable biology anatomy class I've ever taken! I hope there will be more 3D printing pen resources in the future so we can have more opportunities to operate them ourselves!" Erin's students said.

By using the "3Doodler Create 3D Printing Pen" with PLA filament, students can directly draw the distribution and growth direction of muscles. Because PLA filament has excellent adhesion to 3D human skeleton models, different layers of muscles can be distinguished and superimposed by changing the color of the filament. Also, because desired line distributions can be drawn freely, the state of muscles during contraction can be clearly studied.

In addition, it is easy to restore the model to its original state after use, making it convenient for repeated use of the skeleton model. This practical and innovative method can significantly improve learning outcomes!

Inexpensive Materials, Easy to Get Started

Some students were initially worried that they lacked artistic talent and might not be able to use a 3D printing pen freely, but after using it once, they found that the 3D pen was very easy to use and simple to master.

"After the first year of using the 3Doodler Create 3D Printing Pen, only low-cost filament needs to be replenished regularly each year, and its performance has been very stable," Erin emphasized. The operation process is as fun as doodling, and visual memory can effectively deepen impressions. This is a very helpful learning method for students in sports, exercise science, physics, or professional medical fields!
