[ 3D Printing News] Draw muscle lines by hand: a new way to learn anatomy!

Erin Harmon, a biology professor at Albany College (SCA) in New York, teaches anatomy and physiology courses. Students must be familiar with the distribution and texture of at least 40 to 50 muscles. Because the content is very complex, Professor Harmon once said, "The most difficult thing for students is not the academic knowledge, but how to maintain their interest and enthusiasm?"

Erin once asked her students to draw muscle distribution on paper, but due to the limitations of the flatness of the paper, it was impossible to study every angle of the bones and muscles. She also tried using colored tape and clay on a 3D scale model of the human skeleton, but because the materials were not convenient to use and there was a possibility of damaging the human model, the results were not ideal.

 Beyond imagination
"This way of learning makes the otherwise dry subject of anatomy so interesting!" "This is the most unforgettable biology anatomy class I've ever taken! I really hope there will be more 3D printing pens available in the future so we can have more opportunities to use them ourselves!" said Erin's students.

By using the " 3Doodler Create Printer " with PLA filaments, you can directly draw the distribution and growth direction of muscles. Because PLA filaments have excellent adhesion to 3D human skeletal models, you can distinguish and overlay different layers of muscles by changing the color of the filaments. Also, because you can draw the desired line distribution at will, you can clearly study the state of muscle contraction.

In addition, it is easy to restore the original state after the operation is completed, making it convenient to reuse the skeletal model. This practical and innovative approach can greatly improve the learning effect!

The materials are cheap and easy to use.

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

"After the first year of using the 3Doodler Create printer pen , I only need to replenish the low-cost tether periodically each year, and its performance has been very stable," Erin emphasized. The process is as fun as doodling, and the visual memory effectively reinforces learning, making it a very helpful learning method for students in sports, exercise science, physics, or professional medical fields!
